Help Women's Basketball Support the Play 4Kay Foundation to Fight Breast Cancer

1.22.13 | Women's Basketball

PHILADELPHIA - The Temple women's basketball team is joining the fight against breast cancer by raising money to support the Play 4Kay Foundation, and the Owls are asking for your help. Visit the team's fundraising website at play4kay.org/templeowls to make a donation. The team looks to raise money in time for its upcoming Play 4Kay game on Wednesday, Feb. 20 vs. Xavier.

Play 4Kay is an opportunity for a nation of coaches to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for research on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The official charity is the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in partnership with The V Foundation and Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).

Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University head women's basketball coach, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, and passed away on January 24, 2009, after facing her third bout with the disease. With the creation of the Fund, Kay hoped to raise money to further cutting-edge research conducted by the nation's top doctors and medical experts to allow more and more cancer patients to have access to experimental drugs and clinical trials. Since the majority of these research projects are privately funded, these researchers desperately need our support in order for them to continue to make strides in finding a cure for cancer.

To date, the Fund has raised over $7 million for cancer research.
