About
What is Play4kay?
Uniting players, coaches, officials, and fans to do something for the greater good that far exceeds wins and losses in competition, the Play4Kay initiative is our largest fundraiser and plays a major role in our success.
Play4Kay is a movement.
It’s a simple idea — take a game in your schedule and use it to fundraise for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The vision of Play4Kay came directly from Coach Kay Yow. Through Play4Kay, she saw a way to bring communities together and honor cancer warriors in the fight against ALL cancers affecting women. As Play4Kay evolved, the mechanisms for fundraising have expanded and so have the initiatives. Schools nationwide are finding ways to “Play4Kay” on and off the basketball court.
Elements of a Play4Kay game:
- Call your game Play4Kay
- Donate money raised to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund
- Honor female cancer SURVIVORS and THRIVERS (cancer warriors)
Ways to enhance your efforts:
- Galvanize your community through the Power of One…Million virtual photo booth, sponsored by John & Sue Gibbs. The photo booth is powered by CEG Interactive.
- Connect female cancer survivors in your community to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund Cancer Warrior Network
- Participate in the February Play4Kay National Free Throw Challenge
