Bryn Mawr Owls Go Pink Next Week

Bryn Mawr College’s spring athletes will have an extra splash of color next week when they take on their opponents as part of the school’s athletics department’s “Owls Fight for a Cure - Pink Week.”

Since beginning the campaign in September, the department has already helped raise more than $1,400 dollars for breast cancer research and to benefit the Bryn Mawr Hospital Comprehensive Breast Center.

Next week is the department’s last big push to raise awareness and money through the spring sports. All of the spring squads will be participating in “pink-outs” and will be wearing pink gear such as sweatbands or shoelaces during their games, regattas, and other competitions.

The pink-out events include:

• March 25 at 4:30 p.m. Lacrosse game against Swarthmore (Applebee Field);
• March 26 at 4 p.m. Tennis match against Goucher (Bryn Mawr tennis courts);
• March 27-28. Track and field at the Dan Curran Invitational at Widener University;
• March 28. Rowing at the Murphy Cup Regatta in Mercer, N.J.

There will be donation jars at the home lacrosse and tennis matches, as well as in Uncommon Grounds and the fitness center desk all week.
