    Siena Women's Basketball & CRAAB!

    The partnership between Siena Women's Basketball and CRAAB! is now in its 11th year! In 1999 Coach Gina Castelli approached the late Dr. Patricia Brown, a professor of Biology at Siena College and a founder and president of CRAAB!, about collaborating on a breast cancer awareness event at one of her team's home games. From Dr. Brown and CRAAB!, Coach Castelli learned about the issues surrounding the epidemic and wanted to spread that knowledge to others, especially young women. So began the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Basketball Game hosted by the Siena Saints Women's Team and CRAAB! This event has become an annual highlight for both the Saints and CRAAB! It has evolved over the years to include more community partners, more displays and raffles, education tables and spectators that show their support by wearing pink. Before the game tip-off the recognition of local breast cancer survivors takes place to inspire those around them. The Pink Zone Reception celebrates the 11th Anniversary of the Breast Cancer Awareness Basketball Game. We thank you for your participation and continued support.

     

    CRAAB! (Capital Region Action Against Breast Cancer)

(Capital Region Action Against Breast Cancer) is a nonprofit organization created in 1997 that provides a wide variety of support services for survivors and caregivers, as well as education about cancer research, treatment options, and possible risk education strategies for survivors, their families and the general public. CRAAB! partners with many local businesses and schools like Siena College to continue to spread knowledge about their services and breast cancer awareness.

The Pink Zone game attracted hundreds of families, college and high school students, community groups, health organizations, and cancer survivors and their caregivers.

    Depending on your level of sponsorship you will be gratefully acknowledged in the Pink Zone Reception program, with signage at the Pink Zone Reception, signage at the Pink Zone game as well as throughout the evening by audio announcement during the basketball game.
