History
The WBCA began the WBCA Pink ZoneTM, formerly
known as "Think Pink", in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast
cancer awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in
communities. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort
and helped make the inaugural year a success. In 2008, over 1,200
teams and organizations participated, reaching over 830,000 fans
and raising over $930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research.
