The Wake Forest Athletic Department is once again banding together to raise awareness for breast cancer research during the month of October. This year's events are receiving even greater emphasis from the Wake Forest community with volleyball head coach Heather Kahl Holmes being diagnosed with breast cancer this past May. Proceeds raised from all breast cancer awareness games at Wake Forest this season will benefit the NC Triad Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Support our cause for Coach Holmes at all our Pink games this season!

For more information on how you can help support breast cancer research at Wake Forest events, please contact the Sports Marketing Office at 336-758-5011 or email at Kelly Marcolini at marcolka@wfu.edu. You can also donate directly to the NC Triad Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure by visiting www.komennctriad.org.
