Did you know? Mammograms allow for early detection, which is the best weapon we have to fight breast cancer. Share this post with your family and friends as a reminder to schedule a screening 💕 Empower. Educate. Eradicate.

The Kay Yow Cancer Fund stands with women’s basketball coaches nationwide in offering our deepest sympathies on the loss of Coach Burke. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and the
@FordhamWBB
program.
It is with a heavy heart, that we share the sad news that Coach Sonia lost her battle with cancer on Friday, July 16th. As many of you know she has been fighting courageously this past year. We are at loss for words after losing such a major part of our family. ♥️
