The women will take part in the Play 4 Kay initiative and the men will hold a blackout.

The Play 4 Kay initiative began in 2007 as partnership between the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and the V Foundation.

The Kay Yow Cancer Fund was founded by late N.C. State Head Coach Kay Yow, who passed away from breast cancer in 2009. To date, the Play 4 Kay initiative has contributed over $2.8 million in support of women’s cancer research.

Fans are encouraged to wear pink, and will have a chance to donate to the initiative and receive a t-shirt. At halftime the Panthers will recognize survivors of breast cancer.

The women tip-off at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday, and the men will play at 4 p.m.
