College Basketball Thinks Pink This Week

February 2, 2008 · Filed Under Women's Sports 


More than 800 college basketball teams are participating in the annual Women’s Basketball Coaches Association “Think Pink” initiative for breast cancer awareness. Players are wearing pink - pink uniforms, pink pre-wrap, pink headbands, even pink shoelaces. Coaches are wearing pink and fans are asked to wear pink t-shirts. Refs are even using pink whistles!

Why not don some pink this week - whether your team is participating or not. Got a game this weekend? Add some pink and show your spirit. Breast cancer affects 12 percent of women, according to the National Cancer Institute. It’s certainly hit home in our family.

    i think that this is an important thing for the womens college basketball team to be pro “Think Pink.” This is something that could happen to one of the players in their life if they are not informed, and as their jobs as role models, they need to teach girls about breast cancer. It is also good that they wore the pink PRE-WRAP, uniforms, and shoes because it brought up the attention of this serious issue that not many people tend to think about on a regular basis. I hope they make this “Think Pink” will become an annual thing and turn into a fundraiser for people that cannot pay for their bills who suffer with breast cancer.
