It is also the 10th annual Think Pink Night at Alterowitz when in conjunction with the St. Vincent Healthcare’s EVA Project, the Yellowjackets will be raising money in support of breast cancer awareness and the mammography mobile unit that supplies free care to women in the Billings community.

All women receive free admission to the game on Thursday and cancer survivors will be recognized before the game as the MSUB basketball team presents each with a rose provided by Gainan’s Flowers and Garden Center.

The Yellowjackets will be wearing their pink uniforms given to the team by the EVA Project, and St. Vincent Healthcare will be holding a raffle in the lobby for several baskets with all proceeds to be given back to the community program.

This year, t-shirts for the event will also be available in the lobby for $20.00 each, and a 50/50 drawing will take place as well.

Saturday, Feb. 13, MSUB is hosting its final home game of the season in a double-header schedule with the men’s team.

The women take to the court at 7:30 p.m. to close out their GNAC home schedule with the conference’s newest member Concordia (Ore.). After the game, seniors Janiel Olson and Monica Grimsrud will be recognized.

GNAC Insider is hosted by Central Washington University's Rob Lowery, and is produced by the conference office. In addition to the free podcast on iTunes, all archived versions of the program are available for listening through the GNAC's Stretch Internet portal under the 'on-demand' tab.
