When the SU basketball squad takes on former Big East rival Georgetown later this month, the legend of Orange great Pearl Washington will appropriately come into focus.
Syracuse University Athletics and Kinney Drugs have announced that they are teaming up to honor his legacy, highlighted by Pearl Washington Day on Saturday, Dec. 17, when ‘Cuse tips off at 12 pm from the Carrier Dome against the Hoyas.
The celebration begins with Kinney Drugs hosting an in-store, six-week-long program. Starting on Monday, Dec. 12, and continuing through Jan. 30 of next year, Kinney’s 77 stores across New York will offer consumers an opportunity to purchase Pearl mini-jerseys for $1.
