Makeup dates for the George Fox men’s and women’s basketball games that were canceled over the weekend were set this week. On Tuesday, Feb. 11, the teams will visit Pacific in Forest Grove, and on Tuesday, Feb. 18, the Bruins will host Lewis & Clark College. The women will tip off at 6 p.m. and the men at 8 p.m. both nights.
The Bruins and Pacific were postponed from Friday and originally rescheduled for Feb. 18. With the additional postponements of Saturday’s Lewis & Clark games, it became necessary to accommodate all of the area teams involved in makeup games.
George Fox also announced that a number of special events originally planned around the Lewis & Clark games on Saturday will now take place on the Feb.18 makeup date. They include a celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day; recognition of all senior women student-athletes, student trainers, dancers and cheerleaders; the honoring of the 2013 NWC women’s championship teams in golf and track and field; and observance of the “Pink Zone†program for the promotion of breast cancer awareness and cancer research.
The Feb. 7-9 performances of Parade were cancelled due to inclement weather. Two performances will be added on this Thursday and Friday (Feb. 13-14) at 7:30 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium.
Holders of tickets for cancelled performances may exchange their tickets for one of the new performances either by showing up at least 30 minutes before the performance or by calling 503-729-7435. Thursday night is not a free night for students this time around.
Patrons who are unable to attend a later performance may receive a refund by contacting the box office starting today (Monday).
