Box Score LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Randolph will host Sweet Briar Wednesday at 7 p.m., on Pink and Blue Day, promoting breast cancer and colon cancer awareness.
About the Cause:
Randolph women's lacrosse declared today as a "Pink and Blue Day", as pink and blue are the colors designated for supporting breast and colon cancer awareness, respectively.
Both cancers have had direct impacts on members of the team and a pregame ceremony will honor those affected.
Fans are encouraged to donate to help raise awareness by going to randolphwildcats.com/pink and randolphwildcats.com/blue to be directed to ways to help raise awareness.
Pink and Blue Day is part of a campaign by Randolph's SAAC and five of Randolph's spring programs to raise awareness about cancers that have impacted the lives of our community.
