Published January 07, 2009 11:09 pm - Sequoyah to raise money for breast cancer awareness
TAHLEQUAH — Sequoyah Schools will again participate in a nationwide breast cancer awareness event by wearing pink shirts and holding events to raise money for breast cancer awareness in connection with their home basketball game at 4 p.m. Jan. 31 at Sequoyah Schools’ The Place Where They Play. “Last year we sold almost every pink T-shirt that we had and raised a total of $1,000,” said Gina Stanley, Sequoyah Schools’ superintendent. “It’s a great cause and something that we are proud to be a part of.” Last year, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association invited high school girls’ basketball teams to join in and declare one home game a “Think Pink” game as a way to raise breast cancer awareness. Sequoyah’s girls’ basketball team has chosen Jan. 31 against Victory Christian as their “Think Pink” game. Pink Sequoyah Schools’ “Think Pink” T-shirts will be on sale at the game. All proceeds will be donated directly to a local breast cancer charity. The Sequoyah girls basketball team will also be leading other fundraising events on campus in the week leading up to the game, including allowing teachers to wear jeans for one week for a $10 donation and hosting a breast cancer survivor’s reception and recognition ceremony at the game. Cherokee Nation’s Cancer Program will also be on hand to pass out literature on breast cancer and help with “Think Pink” events. Sequoyah is searching for breast cancer survivors in the community to be recognized at the event. If you or someone you know is a breast cancer survivor and would like to be recognized at Sequoyah’s “Think Pink” game, contact Tera Shows at 453-5542 or by e-mail at tshows@cherokee.org.
