As part of the 2011 THINK PINK campaign, the Emory Eagles will be hosting the University of Chicago, on February 13, 2011.   It is the culmination of events that is designated as THINK PINK week.  The Eagles will be wearing their custom pink uniforms sponsored by Russell Athletic.

All week, from Monday, February 7 - Friday February 11, there will be the sale of Breast Cancer Awareness items and ribbons at the Dobbs University Center.  It's all part of Emory athletics' fundraising campaign to raise money for breast cancer research at the Winship Cancer Institute and Emory Department of Surgery, Breast Cancer Research Program.  Other events on campus are planned, and aimed to gather support from the entire Emory Community.

On Saturday, February 12 the Student Programming Council (SPC) and Emory Athletics will be hosting a Pink Tie Affair.  This casual semi-formal type of event is free of charge and open to everyone.  The event will be located at the Cox Hall Ballroom from 8pm-12am.  This event will allow for a focus on the great facilities and wonderful research that is being done right on the campus of Emory University.  There will be food, drink, dancing as well as prizes.  As a means to raise additional money for Breast Cancer research at Emory, pink bow-ties and scarves will be on sale and recommended to be worn during the event.

Finally, all the events will culminate into the final THINK PINK basketball game when the Emory's women's squad hosts the University of Chicago at the Woodruff PE Centers on Sunday, Feb. 13, at 2:00 p.m.  The men's game will preceed that contest starting at noon.  Everyone is asked to wear pink to this game in support of the fight against breast cancer.  The first 500 fans to the game will receive a free Emory Eagles Think Pink T-shirt.  Free food, giveaways and entertainment will accompany the game.  At half-time, we will honor the families that are affected by the disease as well as many survivors that will be joining us. 

Everyone is invited to join us in this celebration.  The event is free and donations will be accepted.  The Emory Eagles want to "pink out" the arena and everyone's support is needed to accomplish that.
