NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Three Heisman Trophy winners from the University of Oklahoma and the state's first lady, Kim Henry, are leading an initiative to promote cancer prevention, aimed at high school students. Henry joined Steve Owens, Billy Sims and Jason White on Monday to announce the program dubbed "Win-Win Week," which will run from Sept. 13-17.

Henry says the idea of the program is for high school students to use their athletic events to draw attention to efforts to prevent cancer. Schools participating in the program will be encouraged to "pink out" every athletic event during the week. Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association assistant director Amy Cassell says that agency, which oversees prep athletics, will award a state championship trophy to a school in each classification that conducts the most effective prevention and fundraising program.
