Since its inception in 1993, Coaches vs Cancer has raised more than $23 million dollars. This program enables the American Cancer Society to support important work, including ground breaking research that saves lives, education, advocacy and patient’s services. We all know of friends or relatives that have been afflicted by this horrible disease.
We need every coach to participate. We are asking every boys or girls basketball coach to pick a game during the month of January and promote Coaches Vs Cancer by wearing sneakers during that game. During this game we are asking you to pass a container through the crowd (or make one available at your ticket counter) for fans to make donations. (Checks should be made out to the American Cancer Society.) After the game we ask you to do the following e-mail or write Steve Witty to let him know you participated and how much money was collected. Bob Lovell of WIBC Scoreboard Show would also like to hear how much you collected. Send a check for the amount collected. Send a check (payable to the American Cancer Society) to Steve Witty, P. O. Box 638, Plainfield, In 46168, who will forwarded it to the Coaches Vs Cancer office or you can send it directly to your local American Cancer Society Office.
Please make your plans now and include it in your schedule of games for this season. Our goal is 100% participation of all High Schools in Indiana.
