Fans can help the University of Portland women’s basketball team “Think Pink” on Saturday, Feb. 16, as the
Pilots try to “Pack the House” against the San Francisco Dons at the Chiles Center at 2:00 p.m. All fans are
encouraged to wear pink to the game.
The University of Portland is also inviting breast cancer survivors, who will be given complimentary tickets
and will be recognized during the game. If interested, please contact the UP box office at 503-943-7525.
In addition, all fans wearing pink will receive entry into the game for just $2. The Pilots will be decked out in
pink warm-ups and the game’s officials will use pink whistles. A small number of limited edition pink Pilot t-
shirts will be given away for free.
The "Think Pink" initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's
(WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in
communities and beyond. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the
inaugural year of the "Think Pink" a success.
Representatives from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life
will also be in attendance. Fans can visit the Relay for Life table in the main concourse of the Chiles Center
to make donations or volunteer for the University of Portland’s Relay for Life, which will be held on April 11-
12 on the UP campus.
The University will use the game against the Dons as a chance to “Pack the House”, a national competition
aimed to promote women’s basketball attendance and awareness. The goal is to set a season-high in
attendance at a UP women’s basketball game.
Other events at the Pilots-Dons game include free ice cream for kids beginning at 1:00 p.m., a pre-game
kids zone with games and a post-game autograph zone.
