Kean Raises $4,000 in Think Pink Campaign 

Union, N.J. (11/16/07) - The Kean University Department of Athletics, in conjunction with the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), raised more than $4,000 in support of breast cancer awareness during home contests in the month of October.

To help raise money SAAC and its advisors sold "Think Pink" t-shirts while also selling breast cancer awareness bracelets.

During the week of October 20-27th, football, women's soccer, field hockey and volleyball teams each participated by either wearing pink shirts during warm-ups or by lacing pink shoelaces in their game shoes.  Coaches and support staff also joined the cause, by wearing pink shirts on the sidelines.  The Richard Stockton volleyball team as well as William Paterson women's soccer team also participated in the cause by wearing pink during warm-ups.

All money generated will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
