Garden City, N.Y. - October marks the celebration of Think Pink month in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. For the seventh straight year, Adelphi Athletics will do their part by raising awareness this month with the Jennifer Montgomery Breast Cancer Awareness event. During the entire month of October, there will be raffle tickets and "Think Pink" merchandise to raise money and awareness for the cause. All proceeds collected will be donated to the New York Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline. The 2012 Think Pink campaign generated nearly $6,500 which brings the University's total contribution to over $27,500.
