Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to the Blazers game this Thursday

by sterles on Oct 28, 2009 1:01 PM PDT

Just wanted to spread the word that the women of Zeta Tau Alpha (both Portland-area alumnae and collegians from the Linfield College chapter) will be handing out pink ribbons and other materials promoting breast cancer awareness to close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the Portland-Denver game this Thursday night. We hope to be at all of the Rose Garden Arena entrances with our pink ribbons, but if you miss us at your entrance, we'll have a booth set up inside the North Entrance (right near the top of Section 105).

I'm also encouraging everyone to wear pink. Come on, if the NFL can do it, so can you...

Finally, if you have been saving up Yoplait pink lids (they're worth 10 cents each toward a $1.5 million donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure), you should feel free to drop them off at our booth and we'll be happy to send them in for you. More info at http://komenforthecure.blogspot.com/.

Thanks everyone and THINK PINK!

This is a worthy cause to get all Blazers bedazzled

(looking at you Twiggs and Blazerfan1)

I’m there pink.

I’ll wear pink and bedazzled clothing from head to toe :)
LOL.

I don't want to hear any "LaMarcus is soft" comments if he decides to wear pink shoes

I want Brandon to also wear pink-white shoes, Rudy with pink wristbands, Nate/KP/Miller with a pink tie, …

But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart

I hope they'll be wearing pink

Not sure if they will be, though.

Unfortunately this isn’t a league-wide program (yet) for the NBA. It’s probably difficult to coordinate given that Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends right about the time that the regular season starts.

I think we’ve asked for pink ribbons to be distributed to the staff and teams and hopefully an announcement will be made. Glad to see so much support here for the cause!
