MEMPHIS, Tenn. - This Saturday, Rhodes College
softball will hold its second annual "Hit for the Cure" play day,
which will benefit the Stephanie Vasofsky Cervical Cancer

on campus and in the community.

Community College at 10am and a single game against Williams
Baptist College at 12pm. Williams Baptist and Southwest

As part of their "Hit for the Cure" week, Rhodes softball players
have been selling "Hit for the Cure" t-shirts in the Burrow
Refectory during lunch, as well as distributing information
brochures in the Refectory. In addition, members of the team
have taken the time to meet with each female varsity team on campus
this week, educating them on cervical cancer.
On Saturday, representatives from the Stephanie Vasofsky Cervical
Cancer Foundation will be at the games, sharing Stephanie's
story on a personal level, and will be speaking with all 3 teams
and their fans about the issue of cervical cancer.
Last fall, Rhodes Softball raised over $600 for the foundation.
