THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Saturday evening the Gilbert Arena will be the site of a collegiate basketball game, but the message being sent to fans in attendance will be much greater than the outcome of that contest. The women's basketball team will be promoting breast cancer awareness month as part of the Play 4Kay campaign.

Play 4Kay is an opportunity for coaches and players to raise awareness of breast cancer on the court, around campus and in the community. Members of the team will be decorating the gym and wearing a number of pink items, including shoes, shoe laces and headbands, while head coach Roy Dow will sport a pink shirt and tie.

The official charity is the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in partnership with The V Foundation and Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).

Cal Lutheran and all teams in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference will be participating in the event over the coming week.
