BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- The Moravian College women's basketball team hosted an enthusiastic group of boys and girls in 2nd through 7th grade at its 5th Annual Pink Zone Clinic in Johnston Hall on Tuesday night as part of its Play 4Kay Week.
Head Coach Mary Beth Spirk, assistant coaches Danielle Brogan and Amy Endler along with members of both the Greyhounds' women's and men's squads taught the kids proper techniques for stretching, passing, defense, dribbling and shooting during the 90-minute clinic. The event ended with a couple of dribbling contests as well as some 3-on-3 games.
Everyone did a great job with all of the children that came out to support our annual pink zone clinic," stated senior guard Marie Rossignoli. "We all love seeing the smiles of the kids having a great time and learning different skills about the awesome game of basketball."

The 2016 Play 4Kay initiative is an opportunity for a nation of coaches to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for research on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. Since its inception in 2007, the Play 4Kay initiative has raised over $3 million to support women's cancer research. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund is the official charity of the initiative.
Over the last seven years, the Moravian has won the Play 4Kay contest at the NCAA Division III level each season. The contest is an effort to reward participating teams in the Play 4Kay who are also raising funds for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund®, in partnership with The V Foundation. The Greyhounds have raised a total of $74,971.
Moravian's Play 4Kay week began on Sunday, January 31 with the 5th Annual Pink Zone Clinic in Springfield, New Jersey, and the week concluded with Tuesday night's clinic.
