FULTON, MS -- Itawamba Community College Athletic Director Carrie Ball-Williamson and Lady Indians' basketball coach Nanci Gray are proud to announce on Monday, February 11 the college has dedicated their games against Holmes Community College as their annual Breast Cancer Awareness Night in partnership with the Play 4Kay initiative.

The 2013 Play 4Kay initiative, formerly known as the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Pink Zone, is designed to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for research on the court, around campuses, in communities and beyond.

T-Shirts will be on sale with donations being taken throughout the night. Fans planning to attend the games are encouraged to wear pink to show your support in the fight against cancer.

Since its inception in 2007, the Play 4Kay initiative has raised over two million dollars to support women's cancer research with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund as the official charity of the initiative.

The Kay Yow Cancer Fund, in partnership with the WBCA and The V Foundation, is a charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the first against women's cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause.
