Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders Raise Money for Cancer Research and Plan for 2009

On Friday, Middle Tennessee Director of Athletics Chris Massaro presented Gordon Ferguson of the Middle Tennessee Medical Center with a framed pink jersey from the 2008 "Think Pink" game between Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky. Middle Tennessee raised over $18,000 for cancer research through the auction of uniforms following the Lady Raiders' win over WKU last February before 6,968 fans.

Proceeds from the event were split between the WBCA/Kay Yow Fund and the Middle Tennessee Medical Center.

The 2009 Pink Zone game will be on Feb. 15 when the Lady Raiders host North Texas at 1 PM. Again this year, the women's team will wear pink uniforms.
