Texas A&M Head Coach Gary Blair has pledged to donate $5 to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Cancer Fund for every A&M student who attends the women's basketball game on Sunday against Texas Tech.
The game will be a "Pink Out" game in honor of the Kay Yow WBCA Cancer Fund. Fans are encouraged to wear pink or purchase a "Beat the Hell Outta Breast Cancer" T-shirt at Reed Arena for $5.
"It's a very special opportunity for students to make an impact by being a part of honoring a Hall of Fame coach and helping to promote breast cancer awareness," Blair said in a press release from Aggieathletics.com. "Over the last two weeks, coaches, players and universities across the country have been doing their part to honor N.C. State Head Coach Kay Yow and what she has meant to the women's game."
A&M partnered with Chevron and the College Station Medical Center to raise $35,000, which will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the world's largest and most progressive grass roots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. The foundation accepts online donations, as well as those given at Reed Arena on game day.
