PHILADELPHIA -
For the third straight year, the University of Pennsylvania women's
basketball team and its fans will raise money through the Charge for a
Cure program. Money is raised with every charge the Quakers take during the 2012-13
season.
In the program's first two years, 109 gracious donors joined the cause and helped the Quakers raise nearly $7,000. Combined with other initiatives, including the Pink Zone game and
the 'Pack the House' Challenge, the Quakers have raised more than $12,000 over the past two seasons.
---------------------
Here is how it works: At the
end of each month, the coaching staff will total the number of offensive
charges the Quakers have taken as a team. Fans can pledge a
donation per offensive charge, typically $1 per charge for the
season. Money is collected at the end of the year, and dispersed to each foundation based on the money raised during the foundation's corresponding month.
---------------------
Here is who benefits: The team will send a check to the respective
organizations listed below.

every day. To join the team in Charge for a Cure, contact assistant
