The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center at the University of Kansas is teaming up with KU Athletics to raise money for breast cancer research and patient care. Tomorrow the University will host the Jayhawks for a Cure 5K and the Pink Diamond Challenge for this initiative.

The Jayhawks for a Cure 5k run will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday on campus. Prizes donated by local businesses will be given to the male and female winners of each age division. The event also includes a 1-mile non-competitive walk.

The KU softball team will wear pink uniforms tomorrow when they play Oklahoma in the Pink Diamond Challenge at 1 p.m. Saturday. Anyone wearing pink will be admitted to the game for only $3. Donations can be made at the door. There will be a silent auction during the game to receive a KU autographed pink softball along with other prizes.
