URI fans asked to 'pink out' Ryan Center for Xavier game

The scene at last season's Pink Out Night, when URI played UMass.

URI will be counting on fans to be a big source of support when they try to beat Atlantic 10-leading Xavier on Monday, Feb. 18. At the same time, many of the fans will also be supporting the battle against breast cancer. That's because it will be the second annual "Pink Out Night" at the Ryan Center, when fans are encouraged to wear pink clothing to show support for the cause and the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Last year's Pink Out Night, which coincided with a URI win over UMass, raised $10,000.

Pink Out T-shirts and pink ribbon pins will be available for a $5 donation before and after the game. Click here for more information.
