Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of a cure.

Garden City, N.Y.--On Sunday, April 26, 2009, the Adelphi University No.1 ranked women's lacrosse team will play host to Saint Thomas Aquinas College in its final home game of the regular season. The game, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m., will be in support of Breast Cancer Awareness and the Athletic Department's "Think Pink" initiative. Throughout the game, there will be items for sale and raffle prizes. All fans are encouraged to wear pink with the goal of packing the stands with supporters.

In addition, the Panthers will also be celebrating the graduating class of 2009 by recognizing their seniors prior to the start of competition.

All proceeds from the game will go to the Adelphi New York Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline and Support Program. For over 29 years, the hotline has helped thousands of New Yorkers through counseling, educational programs and outreach to the under served. Earlier this year, funding for the program was threatened due to budget cuts. However, recently the center announced that funding had been restored! Donations are still needed, now more than ever, so please support our efforts.
