  The WBCA's "Think Pink" initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.  The WBCA began "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 of the WBCA's "Think Pink" a success.


How Rutgers-Camden will participate in 2008

On February 13th, Rutgers University-Camden will host "Think Pink" during the women's basketball game to be held at 6pm.  The evening will feature both teams in pink apparel and we encourage all fans to wear pink as well.  We will be giving out pink ribbons, and honoring cancer survivors.  Help raise money for a great cause and get involved!
