FIU Athletics is helping promote breast cancer awareness with the Play Pink initiative – and giving fans a chance to win some great prizes while doing so.

At all home athletic events during the month of October, fans can purchase raffle tickets for $1 each to enter to win a pink ball signed by FIU women’s soccer, FIU men’s soccer or FIU volleyball or a pink FIU football helmet. (Click here to see the full schedule for October home games.)

All proceeds from the raffle will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
