Join us for our first Coaches vs. Cancer event on Tuesday, February 18th!
Wear pink or purple and support our basketball programs! In the west gym, the girls Varsity team will play at 5:30pm followed by the boys Varsity team at 7:00pm. Meanwhile in the east gym, the boys JV team will play at 5:30pm before the girls JV team gets their game started at 7:00pm.
To support this great cause, donate $5 to add a heart to our heart wall with the name of a loved one who is fighting or has lost their life to cancer. We will honor these individuals by hanging the hearts in the gym during the contest. They can be purchased ahead of time in the office or during the event.
Additionally, students are encouraged to attend wearing pink or purple. By signing in at the admissions table, they will have the opportunity to wear pink or purple tops for the remainder of the week! Finally, participate in our half-court shot competition!
We’re grateful to sponsor this event with the Natalie Ericson Agency – Farm Bureau Insurance.
What is Coaches vs. Cancer?
For more than over 30 years, the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches have collaborated to unite basketball coaches and fans through the Coaches vs. Cancer program to defeat a common enemy – cancer. Because of their passion and dedicated support, the impact they’ve made has been felt in communities nationwide. All funds raised through this program will benefit the American Cancer Society’s screening initiatives that encourages people to schedule regular cancer screening tests. Regular screening for cancer can help save lives. Screening increases the chance of finding certain cancers early when they might be easier to treat. And, some screening tests can prevent cancer by detecting and treating pre-cancers or cell changes before they have a chance to become cancer.
