South Fayette student to speak at cancer fundraiser
South Fayette High School rising senior Tyler Schepis will be a keynote speaker at the annual American Cancer Society Coaches vs. Cancer Tipoff Reception on Tues. Sept. 26 at the PNC Park Home Plate Club.
Schepis, a survivor of stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma, will share his story of resilience, recovery and the important role of his support system.
The event also includes food, auctions and featured keynote speaker Debbie Antonelli, a Hall of Fame member and ESPN college basketball analyst.
South Fayette resident Stacy Hurt, a stage 4 cancer survivor and member of the local cancer society board, said, “We have all been affected by cancer in one way or another, and this is a great way to glean positive lessons from sportsmanship to help us fight back against it.”
Coaches vs. Cancer aims to raise $100,000 for advocacy, research and patient support to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, treat and survive cancer.
