AACS, Key join efforts for breast cancer awareness

For the second year in a row, Annapolis Area Christian School and The Key School are joining forces at Friday night's basketball game to try to raise $10,000 for breast cancer awareness and research.

Here is the rest of the information from the schools' press release:

The Pink Out basketball event is scheduled for Friday, January 29, beginning at 3:30 pm. in the Annapolis Area Christian School’s Kilby Athletic Center. The fundraising effort is driven by three major components: Selling tickets to the Pink Out basketball games, selling Pink Out t-shirts, and raising money via free-throw sponsorships. Fans in the bleachers will show team spirit and support breast cancer awareness by wearing Pink Out t-shirts designed by team captains from each school and pre-sold through the school communities. A limited number of t-shirts will be available at the door.

Money raised will be donated to the Anne Arundel Medical Center DeCesaris Cancer Institute. At half-time during the girls’ varsity game, the schools will recognize all of the breast cancer survivors in attendance and welcome the director of the DeCesaris Cancer Institute, Dr. Barry Meisenberg, who will address the audience.

The basketball games are scheduled as follows:

3:30 pm. AACS vs. St. Peter and Paul (JV girls)
5:00 pm. AACS vs. Key (JV boys)
6:30 pm. AACS vs. Key (Varsity boys)
8:00 pm. AACS vs. Key (Varsity girls)
