WBCA Pink Zone^TM History
The WBCA began the WBCA Pink Zone^TM, formerly known as "Think Pink", in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast cancer awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in communities. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year a success. In 2008, over 1,200 teams and organizations participated, reaching over 830,000 fans and raising over $930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research. The 2009 campaign totals are in the process of being tabulated. The WBCA's charity of choice is the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund^TM, in partnership with The V Foundation. The WBCA strongly encourages all donations from Pink Zone games to be given to this Fund. Click here for more information.
