NABC sheds light on fight against cancer
This year will take place the 7th annual Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness Weekend which is an initiative of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches where coaches together with their teams and local communities are trying to make a difference in the fight vs. cancer. Coaches vs. Cancer organization has raised more than $60,000,000 since 1993 to help the American Cancer Society fund innovative cancer research, providing modern cancer info and education at the same time trying to improve the quality of life for patients. "We may be battling on the court night in and night out, but as coaches, we're on the same team when it comes to reminding our basketball community and our fans about taking an active role in reducing our risk of cancer and in fighting back on behalf of those who face a cancer diagnosis," said UNLV coach Lon Kruger, a member of the Coaches vs. Cancer Council. "Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend is all about challenging us all to get involved in the fight for every birthday threatened by cancer in every community." Among the other coaches involved are Naismith Memorial Hall of Famers Jim Boeheim of Syracuse, Jim Calhoun of Connecticut, Mike Krzyzewski of Duke and Roy Williams of North Carolina.
