Wednesday night's Ventura College basketball doubleheader against Los Angeles Pierce will include the VC women's annual "Pink Zone" event, part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's national fundraiser for breast cancer research, which includes more than 1,500 schools.

The event will include a silent auction, a bake sale to benefit "Ribbons of Life," a local breast cancer foundation, and cancer survivors as honorary starters.

"It's a night for awareness," Ventura assistant coach Robin Hester said.
