NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont University women's basketball program is once again participating in the Play4Kay Pledge It Playoff throughout the month of February. In conjunction with the annual charitable event, the Bruins' Missouri Valley Conference home matchup with Northern Iowa this Thursday night will serve as Belmont's "Pink Game".
Â
Belmont will be donning "Play For A Cure" warmup t-shirts prior to Thursday's annual Play4Kay game versus the Panthers and pink t-shirts will also be given away to all fans in attendance. Tipoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. from the Curb Event Center.
Â
Every free throw the Bruins make during the month of February benefits the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Â
The Kay Yow Cancer Fund's mission is to raise money for life saving cancer research, fund programs that provide access to quality cancer healthcare for underserved women and unite people in the fight against all cancers affecting women.

Belmont fans and supporters can make a pledge on the Bruins' February free throws by visiting
Belmont's Play4Kay page. One-time donations are also being accepted. All proceeds benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Â
Last February, the Bruins raised $1,276 for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund through the Play4Kay Free Throw Challenge. Belmont made 94 free throws throughout the month and finished sixth among NCAA Division I women's basketball programs in terms of funds raised in the 2023 Play4Kay Free Throw Challenge.
Â
The Bruins have made 57 free throws so far through three games in February.
