Members of the Oxford-Lafayette community and Panhellenic sororities participate in C.A.R.E. Walk 2014.<\/p><\/div>\n

OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 When it comes to leadership and service, members of the University of Mississippi’s Greek community consistently demonstrate both. Such will again be the case Feb. 23 when the Lady Rebels host the University of Kentucky Lady Wildcats.<\/p>\n

During the 6 p.m. game at the C.M. “Tad” Smith Coliseum, UM Panhellenic<\/a> community representatives will present a $40,000 check to Baptist Memorial Hospital<\/a> officials for breast cancer research. This was an increase from their $30,000 donation in 2013. The money was raised through donations from local businesses, Panhellenic sororities and those who participated in the Panhellenic Council\u00a0Cancer Awareness Research and Eradication, or C.A.R.E., Walk in September 2014.<\/p>\n

“This as a great way to showcase the work of the students giving back to their local community,” said Jenell Lanski, UM coordinator of Greek affairs. “Students, council officers and chapter community service chairs will be presenting the check to Baptist during halftime.”<\/p>\n

Hospital officials said they are grateful for the Greeks’ generosity.<\/p>\n

“The Ole Miss Panhellenic Council has been a great contributor to the Baptist Cancer Center over the years, and this year is no exception,” said Peter Dilatush, director of oncology at Baptist Cancer Center-North Mississippi. “These funds will go so far in fighting against breast cancer here in Oxford and the surrounding communities, and we are honored to be associated with such a great cause.”<\/p>\n

The marketing and fan experience division is excited about the continued growth of its breast cancer awareness women’s basketball game and the partnership with Baptist, said Jason List, UM assistant athletics director.<\/p>\n

“Over the past decade, breast cancer awareness initiatives in sports have really taken off, especially in collegiate women’s basketball,” List said. “To be able to work with such a terrific supporter in Baptist Hospital on a cause that has affected virtually everyone is not only enjoyable, but important.”<\/p>\n
