ABOUT PLAY4KAY...

  • Through Play4Kay, she saw a vision to bring communities together and honor survivors in the fight against ALL cancers affecting women.
  • It was a simple idea — take a game in your schedule and use it to fundraise for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
  • 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.
