Susan G Komen for the Cure - Austin College vs. Centre College Komen Game II



For the second year in a row, Austin College and Centre College are teaming up to raise money and awareness for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and their fight against breast cancer. Both teams are competing this week to see who can raise the most money with the competition ending just prior to the game. Last year Austin College won this contest and both teams combined to raise nearly $7,000.

This is a special event and we are extremely pleased to be involved. Centre College is donating their money in memory of Sue Hauck, the mother of a former Centre player that passed last fall from breast cancer. Austin College is donating their money in honor of all members of the Austin College family that have been affected by breast cancer.

This year, in association with Roo's against cancer, we are encouraging everyone to wear pink to our game tomorrow. Game time is 4:00pm with our Komen ceremony just prior. We hope to see you there and if you would like to make a donation, please feel free to email me at mhudson@austincollege.edu and we will add it to our total! Go ROO's!
