NORMAN, Okla. -- Coach Coale is presenting a challenge to University of Oklahoma students.

University of Oklahoma women's basketball coach Sherri Coale has pledged to donate one dollar to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund for every student in attendance at Oklahoma's final three home games at the Lloyd Noble Center.  Coale will also match the final figure with an equal donation to OU's Campus Activities Council to disperse among the university's registered student organizations.

Coale has set a minimum donation of $2,000 for each fund.

"I think it is a great opportunity for OU students to help promote breast cancer awareness," Coale said. "I know our students want to make a difference, but may not be able to help financially, so this is a way for the Sooner Nation to support the WBCA's `Think Pink' initiative.

"Come to our games and you'll be fighting breast cancer."

The first game the count will take effect is when No. 10 Oklahoma hosts No.21/20 Texas A&M on "Pack the Place Pink Night" Tuesday, Feb. 12.  Tip-off is 7 p.m.

The Sooners also have home games Saturday, Feb. 23, against No. 17/16 Oklahoma State and Sunday, March 2, versus Texas.

"The three home games that close out our regular season will all be pivotal in the Big 12 Championship race," Coale said. "So our students can play a significant role in our quest for another Big 12 title."

Admission to Oklahoma women's basketball games is free for OU students.
