New Rochelle, N.Y. - On Saturday February 9, as part of the Iona Men's and
Women's Basketball doubleheader, several of Iona College's teams volunteered to
help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. All proceeds from the event were
donated to the Play4Kay Foundation for breast cancer research.
Iona's Baseball and Volleyball teams helped host the
first ever Cut It For Cancer Head Shaving Station. Fans who volunteered to
shave their head received a free ticket to the 50/50 raffle being held during
the doubleheader. Iona Women's Water
Polo and Men's and Women's Swimming teams also participated in the events,
helping to sell Breast Cancer Awareness t-shirts, bracelets, and pins to fans.
Throughout the week leading up to the games, Iona's SAAC reps sold pink
t-shirts across campus to help raise awareness for the event.
