Pink Game
Notre Dame Women’s Basketball vs. Miami
The University of Notre Dame Women’s Basketball’s Pink Game initiative has made a tremendous impact on our local community over the last 10+ years by providing funds for education, screenings, support and research for breast cancer.
This year’s game will be known as the Play4Kay Pink Game. Coach Kay Yow wanted to be a part of finding an answer in the fight against ALL cancers affecting women and she believed we would make a greater impact as a collective team, working together to accomplish one goal. Her goal was for Play4Kay events to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to support advanced research and serve the underserved.
For the 2022 Pink Game, the women’s basketball players will be choosing their own loved one’s name for their special pregame warmup shirts.
