STATESBORO, Ga.- The seventh annual "Pack the House in Pink" event is set for the Eagle Basketball games at Hanner Fieldhouse Saturday, January 21st, with the Lady Eagles welcoming Western Carolina at 3 p.m. and the Men's Basketball team playing host to Charleston at 7:30 p.m. "Pack the House in Pink" is a tribute to all individuals who have lost the battle with breast cancer, those who are currently battling breast cancer, and those who have conquered breast cancer.
Activities surrounding the event will focus on raising awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer and for life-saving research. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the games in the spirit of the event. Both Eagle Basketball teams will sport pink shoe laces to show their support and pink towels will be used during the game on the benches.
The Statesboro Service League is sponsoring the display of a pink fire truck in front of Hanner Fieldhouse. Pink decorations will welcome fans inside and paper pink ribbons for honoring or remembering friends or family members who battled breast cancer will be available for $1 each with the entire amount donated to the cause. The "Pennies for Pink" campaign continues this weekend as fans are asked to bring their spare change and place it in the bright pink containers located in the lobby.
The Zeta Tau Alpha sorority will sell pink T-shirts for $15 prior to the "Pack the House in Pink" game at Hanner Fieldhouse. Zeta Tau Alpha will also hold a bake sale at Hanner on game day and will have sorority members available with pink paint to face paint. The Phi Mu sorority will present a "Kiss Away Cancer" sign at halftime of the Men's Basketball game. Leading up to halftime, fans can kiss the sign for $1 and receive a pink lei as part of this fundraiser.
