Johns Hopkins to Participate in "Sink or Pink" at 2008 Division III Eastern Championship

BALTIMORE, MD - When the Johns Hopkins men's water polo team hosts the 2008 Division III Eastern Championships next weekend on October 25-26, it will not only be seeking its 11th title but it will also be helping in the fight against breast cancer.

In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Student Athlete Advisory Committee, the team will be collecting donations during the week leading up to the championship and at the door on Saturday and Sunday. Fans wishing to participate can make donations on a per-goal-scored basis ($1 per goal scored for example) or with a set donation. In addition, the team will don pink swimming suits to show their support. All funds raised will go directly to Komen Maryland, the Maryland affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

Fans attending the DIII Eastern Championships are also encouraged to wear pink to the event.

Johns Hopkins, the #1 seed in the tournament, is hosting the DIII Eastern Championships for the first time since 2003 and welcomes Connecticut College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Penn State Behrend College and Washington & Jefferson College. 

The championship schedule and Baltimore hotel information are available on the CWPA website.
