Shockers Announce "Color Me Pink" Luncheon

10/10/2011 3:10:00 PM

WICHITA - Wichita State University head women's basketball coach Jody Adams and WSU First Lady Shirley Beggs announce the "Color Me Pink Luncheon", in conjunction with the Shockers' Nov. 14 game against Louisiana State, to support breast cancer research.  Nikki Caldwell, head women's basketball coach for LSU and former national champion player at Tennessee, will be the featured guest.

The luncheon takes place inside Koch Arena at 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 14 and the $25.00 ticket includes admission to that night's 7:05 p.m. game against perennial women's college basketball power LSU.  Tables of eight can be reserved for $150.00.  All proceeds from the luncheon go to breast cancer research. 

Caldwell is the co-founder of Champions for a Cause, an organization that sponsors a yearly cross-country motorcycle ride to raise awareness and funding for breast cancer research.  Adams participated in the program for the first time in the spring.  She won a national championship at Tennessee with Caldwell in 1991.

Mrs. Shirley Beggs is a breast cancer survivor and has been an aggressive advocate for cancer research.  Her involvement in the annual "Pink Zone" game and the local "Race for the Cure" events are just two examples of her tireless efforts to defeat the disease.

Tickets are available by calling (316) 978-FANS or by clicking the invitation below and must be purchased by Monday, Nov. 7.
