Hi all!

Year after year, officials from across the country have embraced the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and all it stands for. We are champions of the women’s basketball community helping to impact the lives of many both on and off the basketball court! You just don’t know how proud Joe and I are to be part of this amazing community.

Cancer is personal, with many of us affected in some way -- be it our colleagues, mothers, aunts, cousins, daughters or even ourselves. Together, we are empowering women, honoring cancer survivors, thrivers and warriors and providing life-enhancing opportunities. By supporting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and the Officials Campaign, we are literally shifting from cancer awareness into action. 

This year is no different, we are less than a month away from the on-court check presentation that will take place during the ESPN Big Monday Play4Kay Game on February 2nd at NC State University. We need donations to be made by January 31 to be included.  As of now, we are lagging considerably compared to last year’s numbers. I know you all are as competitive as we are. Please, please donate to this amazing cause. No amount is too little.

If every person receiving this communication were to donate JUST 20% of ONE game check, the impact felt by the officials’ contribution to the Kay Yow Fund would be incredible!! 

 It’s the 4th quarter, let’s finish strongly! 

Donate HERE! 

Thank you in advance. Let’s continue to show the basketball community who we are, and continue this “official” fight against all cancers affecting women!

 Sincerely,

Joe Vaszily, Chair of the Finance Committee

Dee Kantner, President of the Board
