YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Monday, Feb. 20, Eagle Nation Insider Coach's Show on WTKA (1050 AM) will hit the road for the first time in 2012. The show featuring Eastern Michigan University Head Men's Basketball Coach Rob Murphy and Head Women's Basketball Coach AnnMarie Gilbert will originate from the Buffalo Wild Wings located at 216 James L. Hart Parkway in Ypsilanti. The broadcast runs from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. and fans are encouraged to attend.
If you cannot attend the show, fans can listen to the live broadcast at WTKA.com.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to Play 4Kay, formerly known as WBCA Pink Zone, an initiative that allows a nation of coaches to raise awareness and funds for cancer research on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The official charity is the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in partnership with The V Foundation and Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
The official dates for the 2012 campaign are Feb. 10-20, with EMU's Play 4Kay event scheduled for the Eagles' Mid-American Conference contest versus the University of Toledo, Feb. 21.
Yow, former N.C. State University head women's basketball coach, served as the catalyst for Play 4Kay after her third recurrence of breast cancer in 2006. Coach Yow was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, and passed away Jan. 24, 2009.
Since 2006, thousands have joined Coach Yow's team in the fight against breast cancer and have raised over $1.5 million for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
