The check presentation to Sanford Health will be held during half-time of the Dragon Women’s Basketball game on Friday, February 21. The funds raised for Sanford Health will benefit the Nurse Navigator Hematology program. Nurse navigators are funded through philanthropy and last year, the hematology navigator helped 137 patients at the cancer center.

The Dragon’s Women’s Basketball team, led by Head Coach Karla Nelson, sponsors Go Pink with the Dragons as a community service to educate and raise awareness about the importance of screening for breast cancer and other cancers. This event also raises funds for the MSUM Go Pink Scholarship and the Sanford Health Roger Maris Cancer Center.
Pictures from the Go Pink event are available for viewing on the Dragon Athletic mobile app under Live Albums.
We appreciate everyone who had a hand in making this event a success! With your help we have raised awareness of the importance of becoming a bone marrow donor. Together, we made a difference!
