October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the Hurricanes soccer team is doing its part to raise awareness by playing a “pink” game to raise money to support the cause. The Hurricanes will wear special pink Nike jerseys during the game against Clemson on Friday, October 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Cobb Stadium.

Admission to the game is free, but fans are encouraged to make a donation at the gate, as 100 percent of all funds raised will benefit the Sylvester Cancer Center.

Fans can also go online by clicking here to bid on the pink jerseys the players will wear during Friday’s game. The auction is open now and will end at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 12.

Herb and Dorothy tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. In the early 1960s, the couple quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists. Devoting all of Herb’s salary to purchasing art they liked while living on Dorothy’s paycheck alone, they continued collecting guided by two rules: The piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. After 30 years of meticulous collecting and buying, the Vogels managed to accumulate more than 2,000 pieces, filling every corner of their tiny apartment. The film screens on Friday, October 9 at 7 p.m., Saturday, October 10 at 6 p.m., Sunday, October 11 at 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
