Softball Hosts Strike Out Cancer Days
April 8, 2004
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The No. 15 ranked Oregon State University softball program will host Strike Out Cancer Days on Friday, April 9, and Saturday, April 10 when the Beavers host in-state rival University of Oregon.
Strike Out Cancer is a program sponsored by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) in an effort to raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer.
"It's a great opportunity to create some awareness for our athletes and our fans, and a way to give back - even if it's in a small financial way," said OSU head coach Kirk Walker.
Donations during the Civil War game will be taken to the local American Cancer Society's Lane-Benton Relay for Life, located in Eugene.
Those contributing $10 or more will be eligible for an array of prizes from the OSU athletic department. A t-shirt will be given to those making donations of $20 or more.
