Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund
The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), in partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research, announces the launch of the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. This is the first time in its 26-year history that the WBCA has instituted a health initiative, with the Fund serving as the newest women’s initiative launched at The V Foundation.
NC State head coach, Kay Yow, established the Fund in partnership with The V Foundation as a 501 c(3) charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against cancer through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause.
Donations can be made at www.JimmyV.org or by calling 1-800-4JimmyV. All donations are tax deductible. Future plans for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund include challenging WBCA-member coaches, institutions, fans and communities to implement one Event-in-a-Box, as provided by the WBCA and The V Foundation, to raise money for the Fund. Several national events will also be held each year to raise money for the Fund.
