NORFOLK, Va. - The Norfolk Admirals and the Tidewater Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure will hold their annual "Pink in the Rink" event at the Admirals game at Norfolk Scope on Saturday, January 15th, 2011. This popular annual event where the ice is dyed pink will seek to educate and raise awareness about breast cancer while also raising monies for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
