Zips Wear Green for Scalf and Brain Injury Awareness

AKRON, Ohio – So many people associate the color green and the month of March with St. Patrick's Day and college basketball's March Madness, but to others those two things symbolize much more.

What most people don't know is that the month of March is also brain injury awareness month, and the color for brain injury awareness is green. This campaign often gets outshined but deserves as much attention and awareness as any other traumatic injury or disease.

On Tuesday, March 22, the University of Akron softball team will be donning the color green for a beloved member of the Akron coaching staff.
