SBU, Hoops Fans to Sport Pink
Nov. 5 for Breast Cancer Awareness

The St. Bonaventure University community will be trading in their brown for pink to support breast cancer awareness across campus on Friday, Nov. 5.

There will be a full day of educational events for students on campus including a Hickey Dining Hall pink-themed day and informational waterproof shower cards for the dorms. The pink excitement will conclude at the women’s and men’s home exhibition basketball games at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. respectively.

Athletes and coaches will participate in the event by incorporating pink into their uniforms. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to buy T-shirts, win prizes in a raffle, learn breast cancer prevention tips, and celebrate those who have fought the battle with this disease.

Clubs across campus participating in the event include Student Government Association, FM 88.3 The Buzz, and the Campus Activities Board, all in conjunction with the Athletics Department.

Shannon Shepherd, student coordinator of the event, knows the importance of the fight against breast cancer.

“My neighbors lost their mom at such a young age,” said Shepherd, a junior at St. Bonaventure. “It really affected me and my family.”

To learn more about the Nov. 5 events, or to support the initiative with a donation or a raffle prize, contact Shannon Shepherd at 703-297-5790 or shephesl@bonaventure.edu.
