The Angelo State women's basketball team has always made time for charity.  It has been a priority for head coach Sally Walling Brooks throughout her career.

This past season, the 'Belles donated more than $3,000 to The V Foundation in support of the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.  As part of the WBCA's Pink Zone campaign, the ASU women's team wore commemorative pink uniforms when the 'Belles hosted rival Abilene Christian on Feb. 14 and collected silent bids on the uniforms over the next week with the proceeds benefitting The V Foundation.

The V Foundation awards 100 percent of all new donations and net event proceeds directly to cancer research and related programs.  Since the formation's founding in 1993, it has raised more than $80 million to fight cancer nationwide.

The 'Belles plan once again to support cancer research as they will again wear pink jerseys this season.  ASU will wear the pink uniforms Feb. 20, 2010, as the 'Belles host Eastern New Mexico.  Again, fans will be able to bid on the commemorative pink uniforms to help support the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.  In addition, one of the jerseys will be up for bid Friday night as part of the 5th Annual Angelo State Athletic Foundation Blue & Gold Dinner and Auction. The event is set for 6 p.m. at the Junell Center. For more information on Friday's event, click here.
