COLUMBUS, Ohio – As has been the case in recent years, the Capital University women's basketball team will host a #Play4Kay basketball game, directly benefiting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
This year's game will take place on Saturday, February 4th at 2 p.m. as Capital takes on No. 18 ranked Ohio Northern University.
The Comets will wear their pink uniforms to help raise awareness for the cause as well.
What is #Play4Kay?
The vision of Play4Kay came directly from Coach Kay Yow. Through Play4Kay, she saw a way to bring communities together and honor cancer warriors in the fight against ALL cancers affecting women. As Play4Kay evolved, the mechanisms for fundraising have expanded and so have the initiatives. Schools nationwide are finding ways to "Play4Kay" on and off the basketball court.
