From ESPN.COM, "continuing an effort that has raised more than $2 million for breast health awareness, the WNBA will host several activities from Sept. 7-13 as part of Breast Health Awareness Week to continue to generate awareness about breast cancer and raise funds to help fight the disease. Two nationally televised WNBA games -- San Antonio at Connecticut on Sunday (ABC, 1 p.m. ET) and Phoenix at Detroit on Tuesday (ESPN2, 7 p.m. ET) -- will include special programming on the league's breast health initiative and awareness efforts. Each WNBA team donated pink and white autographed basketballs and both home teams participating in the televised games will wear white uniforms with pink trim, which will also be auctioned off for charity beginning Sunday. In addition, coaches will wear pink ties or scarves and the referees will use pink whistles during these games.
