At the annual Play4Kay game, fans are encouraged to wear pink to support the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation and raise breast cancer awareness.
The first 750 fans to enter the arena will receive a free pink t-shirt to raise awareness in the fight against breast cancer.
At halftime, the Marist Athletics Department and Miles of Hope will recognize breast cancer survivors with a special on-court ceremony. Survivors interested in taking part in the event should contact Assistant Athletics Director for External Affairs, Harrison Baker, via email at
harrison.baker@marist.edu.
The executive director of the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation,
Pari Forood, has enjoyed having a close relationship with Marist College in the last 15 years.
"Every year, Marist sports teams play a pink game honoring breast cancer survivors and raising awareness for this disease," Forood said. "Miles of Hope funds support services, education and outreach for people affected by breast cancer within the nine counties of the Hudson Valley and one of the reasons we are so successful is because of partners like Marist."
The game marks the 12th time the Marist Athletics Department will partner with Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation to promote the importance of breast cancer awareness in the Hudson River Valley. Proceeds from the evening's 50-50 raffle will benefit the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation.
