March 20, 2024 - The Kishwaukee College Women's Basketball team are proud to have raised funds in their annual Pink Zone game this past season.  All entrance gate fees, silent auction and T shirt sales went towards the donation to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in the total of $409 this year.  The Kougars thank all the Kishwaukee staff, faculty, students and fellow Kougars student-athletes from our other sports programs in supporting such an important cause.  Coach Yow's dedication to the game took her all the way to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. As head coach of the North Carolina State University women's basketball team and past president and founding member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), her voice became a galvanizing force within the sport of women's basketball. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 but passed away in 2009, after a 22-year, on-again, off-again battle with the disease.  Coach Yow fought the battle in the public arena. Her hope was to inspire others to make a difference in a fight that impacts each and every one of us. 

"When life kicks you, let it kick you forward." - Kay Yow
