On Wednesdays, Relay For Life of Penn State wears pink.

This Wednesday, Oct. 22, Relay for Life of Penn State will host its annual “Paint PSU Pink” event in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Visit the HUB between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. wearing the best pink items in your wardrobe and tell Relay captains why you wear pink.

Stop by to have your photo taken with whatever reason drives you to support breast cancer awareness efforts, and the Relay For Life of Penn State crew will reward you with a pink ribbon so you can show off your support for the cause.

Not free between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. this Wednesday? Even if you can’t stop by the HUB event, you can still join in Relay’s efforts to support breast cancer — if you’re 21 or older, that is. Just like last year, The Phyrst will host its “Drink for Pink” night to support the cause with a beer in your hand on Thursday. All cover from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. will be donated to Relay.
