The Aurora University women's volleyball program will host and help support the Joliet Area Chapter of Pink Heals on Saturday, October 5 when the Spartans host Lakeland University. Opening serve is slated for 1:00 p.m. in Thornton Gymnasium.
"We are happy to partner with Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter," said Head Coach James Seitelman. "We believe education is key to increasing knowledge about the disease and fundraising is essential to support further research."
AU players will wear pink uniforms during the contest with Lakeland and the program has partnered with Pink Heals to raise awareness and donations. Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter will be in attendance with some of their pink emergency vehicles that are used to help raise awareness.

ABOUT PINK HEALS
As the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter, we use the color Pink not for breast cancer but because it is the color of women! To us, it should not matter what type of illness she or her family has. We as a society have become such a caused based society, when the time has come that we all become people based. Our slogan and mission is simple.
Pink Heals is targeting people not diseases. Although our main focus is the fight against cancer, we are here to serve those in need, no matter the illness. We are setting the example by being a true non-profit. 100% of every single fundraised dollar stays right here in the community. We are all volunteers, even at the National level. We are truly a movement for the people by the people. We are providing an environment through the pink fire trucks that is about love and hope first and about money second. Our pink fire trucks and pink police cars inspire; they bring the feel of love and caring right to the doorsteps of those in need. We team up with the community's local police and fire departments, show up with lights and sirens, and deliver flowers, inspiration, support, love and sometimes financial help to those in need.
