The Warriors are kicking off the 18th annual Think Pink campaign, an initiative dedicated to raising funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. Over the past 17 years, the Warriors community has rallied together to raise over $275,000. This year, we're aiming to add an additional $5,000 more to that, total eclipsing $280,000, and we need your help to reach our goal!
Part of the Shoot for the Cure initiative, Think Pink is dedicated to furthering breast cancer research and awareness. Continuing its hybrid fundraising approach for the fifth straight year, the 2025-26 U SPORTS breast cancer fundraising campaign will run from January 1st to 31st, 2026.
Throughout the campaign, teams will host special events like Chuck a Puck, and Air Plane Toss, while fans may also get the chance to give players a fresh hair-do with half time hair cuts. Fundraisers, Think Pink T-Shirt sales and themed games will seek to further engage fans and generate contributions. Fans are encouraged to donate directly to the cause and show their support on social media using the hashtags #ShootForTheCure and #WarriorsCare.
