The Kay Yow Cancer Fund®, in partnership with the  Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and The V Foundation for Cancer Research, today announced the divisional winners of the 2014 Play 4Kay® initiative.

Trinity Valley Community College was named the winner of the Community College Division. TVCC raised $7,600.

“It is a true testament to the hard work, commitment and selflessness of the staff, fans and community of Trinity Valley and Athens to be able to achieve such an accomplishment,” said TVCC athletic director and head football coach Brad Smiley.  “Everyone involved in this year’s Play 4Kay efforts should be very proud.”

The Play 4Kay initiative serves as a platform for a nation of coaches, student-athletes and fans to raise awareness and funds for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, an organization committed to funding women’s cancer research and supporting projects that assist the underserved community.

The institutions that raised the most funds in each division will be recognized at the 2014 Wow 4Yow Party on Friday, April 4, held in conjunction with the 2014 Women’s Final Four and the WBCA National Convention in Nashville, Tenn.
