Baylor Scott & White Health will provide the first 2,000 fans to enter CPC with pink bandanas, while fans will also have the opportunity to fill out "I Fight For" cards. The cards, which will be shared in-arena throughout the game, will honor and support those that may be battling, survived, or lost their fight to breast cancer.

Additionally, fans can join the cause and make a one-time flat donation, or pledge up to $5 for every point Kalani Brown scores this season through an online Play4Kay giving campaign.

Brown lost her grandmother to breast cancer. Donations can be made HERE.

Fans will also be able to sign up for "Strike out Cancer with Kalani and Friends" - a breast cancer awareness fundraiser scheduled for Oct. 19 at Pinstack Las Colinas.

Breast cancer survivor Kathlyn McGuill will sing the National Anthem, while halftime will feature a Survivor's Parade, celebrating the strength of survivors across the DFW metroplex.

Additional in-game elements include a check presentation to the Sister's Network for a $50,000 grant, presented by the Dallas Wings Community Foundation, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and the Dallas Mavericks.
