Dave and I spent the afternoon of Valentine’s Day cheering on the Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball Team in their challenge with Duke. What does this have to do with finding a cure for breast cancer and what was I doing at a sporting event? Two very good questions with one simple answer! It was the Breast Cancer Awareness Game! The Lady Hokies wore pink ribbon warm up shirts, the referees had pink whistles and even the Hokie Bird was wearing a pink shirt and bandana. Each fan got a pink ribbon Virginia Tech t-shirt and I was thrilled that they actually had different sizes available rather than the ole “one size fits no one” approach.
It was a close game but in the end Duke had the win. Regardless of the outcome, we had a wonderful time surrounded by fans in all shades of pink, cheering for our Hokies. We also enjoyed our romantic Valentine’s Day meal of hot dogs, pizza and soda as we sat balancing our food and drinks carefully in our laps. Not your typical way to celebrate Valentine’s but we made it work.

Will the football team step up to the challenge and wear pink uniforms this fall in a game? I can only hope and wait to see!
