Each season since 2005, Purdue has worn an alternate jersey for one game to support a cause. The shirts are auctioned off after the game, and all proceeds are donated to that cause. Cancer research, our armed forces, the environment and domestic violence prevention have all been featured. This season, the Boilermakers are set to wear red, white and blue again – blue shirts, white shorts and red socks – Oct. 9 versus Ohio Sate.

In conjunction with Indiana Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Locks of Love spring tournament, the Boilermakers have regularly contributed to the cause. Brookley Rogers and Lauren Varnau made hair donations in 2011. Locks of Love is an organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the U.S. and Canada suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. The rest of the team contributed other hairrelated items.
