About Play 4Kay
Play 4Kay game efforts were started by the late Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University Head Women’s Basketball Coach. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and fought the disease three times until her death in 2009. While courageously battling cancer, Coach Yow started the Kay Yow Cancer Fund which serves to raise money for scientific research and to assist the efforts to fight against women’s cancers. To date, the fund has grown nationwide and contributed over $5.3 million to support cancer research.
