Students to dance for breast cancer benefit

The 2009 Pink and Black Ball is scheduled from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Feb. 7, in the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.

The ball is an annual benefit to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure, an organization dedicated to fighting breast cancer, according the foundation's Web site.

Students are encouraged to attend the semi-formal event and enjoy music from a live jazz band and a live DJ. Refreshments such as a "potatotini" bar, cheese and crackers, and a chocolate fountain will be provided.

Adam Wilkey, freshman, said he was planning on attending the ball.

"It's a wonderful cause to support," Wilkey said. "My grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer a few years ago so I always jump at any opportunity to support breast cancer research. Besides, you can't go wrong with dressing up and getting your boogie on."

Tickets are available for $15 in advance at
www.okctickets.com, or can be purchased at the door for $20. For more information on the Susan Komen foundation, visit ww5.komen.org.
