The BFA Fairfax and Richford High School girls’ basketball and cheerleading teams will join in the nation-wide effort to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research on Thursday, February 7, 2013 as they take part in the WBCA Play 4Kay games (formerly Pink Zone Games). BFA Fairfax will be hosting the 6 pm JV and 7:45 Varsity start that will feature all athletic teams wearing an assortment of special pink attire – shoelaces, warm-ups, socks, etc. Cold Hollow Photography will be on hand to document this exciting event between two Franklin County teams that play competitively in the Mountain League. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game, with pink bead necklaces and ribbons being sold before and at the event. A bake sale, prize raffle and ticket sales will also be part of the fund raising effort with proceeds going toward the Vermont Cancer Center and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. This community service event demonstrates the athletes commitment to finding an answer in the fight against women’s cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause locally. The teams wish to thank the BFA Fairfax and Richford schools, BFA Fairfax Boosters, the St. Albans Price Chopper and Cold Hollow Photography for their support
