Triton College Softball Team "Swings for Susan" May 2

The Triton College women's softball team plans to do its part in raising breast cancer awareness during its final regular season home doubleheader Sunday, May 2, at noon, against Moraine Valley Community College.
The event called "Swings for Susan" will honor breast cancer survivors and raise funds in the fight against breast cancer with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The team will be collecting donations during both games.
"I hope it will be a special day," Triton softball head coach Art Kasak said. "The team jumped at the idea right away and thought it would be a great thing to do."
The team is encouraging breast cancers survivors to come out to the game as all survivors will be honored and receive a pink carnation.
Fans attending the games are also asked to get into the spirit by wearing pink shirts as well. Their will also be plenty of pink decorated throughout the field, including the baselines which will be colored in pink.
"We're going to make it a good way to finished up the regular season and like to have as many people there as possible," Kasak said. "We're looking forward to it."
For more information on being apart of the ceremonies or to be a donor, contact Triton softball head coach Art Kasak at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3289.
