WVU Cancer Institute, WVU Medicine and WVU Athletics plan ‘Pink’ Events this month

WVU women's soccer team in pink uniforms

The Cancer Institute, WVU Medicine and Athletics are teaming up on several “Pink” events to raise breast cancer awareness in Oct.

Mountaineer fans are encouraged to don their pink and come to the women’s “Pink” soccer game against Oklahoma at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Sunday (Oct. 8) at 2 p.m. Bring your smiles as this game will be televised regionally on AT&T Sports Net. You’ll receive pink pom-pom shakers and get to tour the new Bonnie’s Bus, WVU’s state-of-the-art mobile 3D mammography vehicle, which will be parked in the lot next to the stadium. Members of the soccer team will be decked out in pink uniforms and during halftime will celebrate the success of their annual spring fundraiser to benefit the Cancer Institute’s Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. Fans will also have an opportunity to receive the official pink Mountaineer T-shirt when they make a $10 donation. Tickets will be $1 at the gate and are available online at WVUGAME.com.
