Lady Tigers and PMAC decked out in Pink for a great cause
LSU's win over Vanderbilt was important to the Lady Tigers in building their post-season resume. But it also was their annual Pink Zone game which saw the both teams, fans, cheerleaders and the band decked out in pink -- even Mike the Tiger got in on the action.
The WBCA Pink Zone initiative is a global, unified effort for the WBCA's nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The window set aside for this year's initiative is February 12-21. The WBCA's charity of choice is the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation.
Donations were accepted at the game benefitting the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Donors could pledge a chosen amount for each point scored by the Lady Tigers or they could donate a flat amount that they saw fit
Admission for LSU students was free of charge with a valid LSU ID. LSU women's basketball will donate $1 to Baton Rouge area cancer research for each LSU student in attendance on Thursday night. LSU associate head coach Bob Starkey had also announced that he and his wife Sherie, a breast cancer survivor, are donating $1 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every LSU student in attendance at Thursday's game.
