Creighton continues to raise funds for the Hope Lodge
The annual Creighton vs. Cancer Pink Out, presented by Methodist and CHI Health, will take place on January 25th, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever. For the first time, Creighton will host both Pink Outs on the same day as part of a doubleheader that will see the men's basketball team face Seton Hall at 12:30 p.m., followed by the women's basketball team hosting Connecticut at 4:30 p.m. Both games will take place at CHI Health Center Omaha.

Bluejay players will wear pink shooting shirts and pink-accented jerseys for each game. Those shirts were auctioned off earlier this month with all funds raised go to benefit Hope Lodge Omaha.

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge Nebraska provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers who must travel to Omaha to receive their lifesaving treatment. More than just a roof over their heads, it's a nurturing community that helps patients access the care they need.

The annual Creighton University Pink Out athletic events have combined to nearly $1,000,000 to benefit the Hope Lodge facility here in Omaha and the guests it serves, with over $468,000 of that coming from the jersey auctions.
