Pink Out games are a special event we like to share with the UNT community and
especially the athletics department. To kick off our philanthropy events this
semester, we got to pink out the super pit for a Pink Out basketball and there
was a great turn out! Our chapter's Think Pink Committee did an amazing job on
preparing everything and making last minute shopping hauls, banners, posters,
and spreading the excitement for this first pink event of the semester. Our
sisters and UNT supporters came to the game decked out in pink and ready to
cheer on our men’s basketball team! We got to meet so many UNT fans, alumni,
and even coaches who wanted to help support our cause and spread breast cancer
education and awareness with us.
Passing out ribbons and spreading the pink love
around is always an amazing experience. At every event that I have gone to and
passed out ribbons at, at least one person always has gone out of their way to
ask if they can have a ribbon because their life has been touched by breast
cancer in some way. It truly shows how breast cancer has affected the world
today and how big of a difference one person, and especially an organization,
can make.
One special thing we decided to add to our
philanthropy events this semester is a “Who do you fight for banner?” where
anyone can write a name of someone who has been touched by breast cancer. After
just this one Think Pink event, our banner is already filling up and it warms
my heart to see that our chapter can help spread awareness to so many.
I am so excited
about the semester ahead of us and what philanthropic awesomeness it will
bring! This Pink Out was just the beginning and it will only get better from
here!
