TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama Gymnastics and Softball teams will sign autographs Saturday starting at 4:30 p.m. on the University Quad near Denny Chimes before the Crimson Tide's Homecoming Game against South Carolina.
The two teams will be signing a combined poster that features the individual athletes on one side and a "Power of Pink" poster on the other. The Power of Pink is the Alabama athletics department's year-long effort to raise awareness of and support for breast cancer initiatives in the West Alabama community. The campaign got underway Friday with the Crimson Tide's volleyball match against Tennessee and continues Sunday with the soccer team's match against Vanderbilt.
The Alabama Gymnastics team is coming off its sixth Southeastern Conference title and a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships. The Tide Softball team made its deepest run into the Women's College World Series last season, advancing to the semifinals. It was Alabama's sixth World Series berth in 13 seasons.
Softball opens its fall season Sunday with the first of three Fall Brawl weekends. The first of three games gets underway at noon at the Alabama Softball Complex.
