Jostens Rewarding Teams for Joining Fight Against Breast Cancer

Passing along some information from the WBCA:

The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced today the official WBCA Pink Zone® Contest presented by Jostens. The contest is an effort to reward participating teams in the WBCA Pink Zone who are also raising funds for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation.

Jostens, long-time WBCA sponsor, will be giving a complimentary piece of jewelry from the Jostens Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund Jewelry Collection to the head coach of the team at each division (NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, JC/CC and High School/AAU) that raises the most funding during its WBCA Pink Zone game for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. They will also present a plaque to the winning team at each division at the 2010 WBCA National Convention in San Antonio, Texas.

The 2009 contest winners were N.C. State University (NCAA Division I), Bentley University (NCAA Division II), DePauw University (NCAA Division III), California Baptist University (NAIA), Southwestern Community College (JC/CC) and Sandia High School (High School/AAU).

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 week set aside for this year’s initiative is February 12-21. The extent of involvement is up to the individual institution. For a complete list of participants, click here.
