Monmouth University Women's Basketball Team to Recognize Cancer Survivors

The Monmouth University women's basketball team will be honoring cancer survivors during halftime of an upcoming game.

Halftime of the Hawks' Feb. 16 game against St. Francis, NY, will serve as the venue to honor survivors of women's cancers for this year's Play 4 Kay event. The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the MAC at Monmouth University.

"The Play 4 Kay event is recognized throughout the country and serves as a way to recognize survivors of breast and ovarian cancer," Monmouth University Director of Basketball Operations Meg Tarrant said. "We will invite all survivors onto the court and present them with an autographed basketball."

Tarrant said any survivors who would like to attend the game should contact her at 732-263-5386 or contact her at metarran@monmouth.edu. Any survivor who attends will be given a free ticket for the game.

All fans who attend the game are also being asked to wear pink in honor of breast cancer awareness.
