Athletics - posted on 2/14/2012

The Lakeland College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), in association with the Lakeland College Student Association, sponsored a "Pink Out" on Feb. 11 as part of the NCAA "Play 4Kay" initiative, a week-long event dedicated to raising money and awareness in the fight against breast cancer.

Fans lent their support through the purchase of t-shirts, 50/50 raffle tickets and pink cookies. SAAC held a "Shoot for a Cure" initiative, and fans made pledges for each 3-point basket made in the men's and women's basketball games. Lakeland College athletics donated 50 percent of all fan admissions and the Student Association also made a monetary donation.

Several raffle prices were donated for the event, and the following sponsors made contributions:
Applebee's, Aurora Women's Health, Chili's, Lakeland College bookstore, Lakeland Student Association, Lakeland SAAC, Sheboygan Chevrolet, Scheels, Subway, Sweet Memories Bakery and Zanders Press.

The annual event was once again a rousing success. If you would like more information about the Kay Yow Cancer Fund or how you can support the cause, click here.
