UVM Basketball Supports VCC with
PINK ZONE™ Charity Games

On February 10 and 14, the UVM Women's and Men's basketball teams will storm the court at Patrick Gymnasium in support of cancer research and education programs at the Vermont Cancer Center. On Wednesday, February 10 at 7 pm, the UVM Women's team takes on Boston University, while a Valentine's Day charity game on Sunday, February 14 at 2 pm features UVM Men's hoops against the University of New Hampshire Wildcats.

The two home games, organized by UVM Athletics, are part of a nationwide WBCA (Women's Basketball Coaches Association) Pink Zone™ breast cancer awareness initiative. The events will feature pre-game presentations with the Vermont Cancer Center and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, and proceeds from apparel and accessories sales, a pre-game silent auction, and half-time raffles will be donated to the VCC. Last year's Pink Zone™ basketball events raised nearly $6,000 for the VCC's Breast Cancer Research Fund.

UVM Athletics also supported the VCC Breast Cancer Research and Education Fund with two hockey games in January. The Men's and Women's Hockey East Association charity events, "Skating Strides for Breast Cancer," sponsored by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters with additional support from Comcast, took place on January 15 and January 22, respectively. The charity events raised more than $1,000 in support of breast cancer research and education programs at the VCC.
