For an eighth straight year, Trinity Valley Community College is teaming up with the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association to raise awareness in the fight against breast cancer.

TVCC is participating in the WBCA’s Play 4Kay initiative, which began as “Think Pink” in 2007. TVCC has designated the Saturday, Feb. 14, game against Tyler Junior College at Cardinal Gym as its Play 4Kay event. Game time is 4 p.m.

The initiative is named in memory of former North Carolina State head women’s basketball coach Kay Yow, who died after a third recurrence of breast cancer in January 2009. The movement continues to grow and change lives, especially during February. Continue reading “TVCC to Play 4Kay on Feb. 14”
