For a Cure
Each year through the annual Pink Game jersey auction, the sale of Pink Game t-shirts, a bake sale run by LVC's Colleges Against Cancer (CAC), and the accepting of donations on the night of the contest, Lebanon Valley raises thousands of dollars for charitable organizations that aid in the prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer, including the Genetics Program at the Penn State Health Cancer Institute and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
 
Special Guest
Every year prior to tip-off, the women's basketball team is joined on the floor of Sorrentino Gymnasium by a number of longtime supporters of LVC's endeavor to spread awareness of cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. Although they're unable to attend in person, Dr. Jeanne Donlevy Arnold and Ed Arnold continue their generous backing of the College with a special check during the presentation ceremony. On the court for the check presentation will be President Lewis Thayne, head coach Amy Sokaitis, seniors Anne Lehr, Jen Eck, and Ashley Kline, as well as Dr. Maria Baker who works in the Genetics Program of Penn State Health Center's Cancer Institute.
 
Prizes Up for Grabs
Thanks to the generosity of a number of businesses, LVC will raffle off numerous gift cards and small gifts during the Pink Game. At stoppages throughout the afternoon, winners will be announced and called to claim their prize near the official scorer's table. Prizes include gift cards from local establishments, including Athleta, Nike, LVC's Bookstore, and a FitBit watch, among other prizes.
