IBCA initiative against cancer
Thanks to all coaches, teams, schools and dedicated community members who have participated in the seventh annual IBCA initiative against cancer.
Your contributions to support the fight against cancer are much appreciated. As the E-Newsletter goes to press, with some schools not yet reporting, participating schools have reported raising $75,070 – many schools through the American Cancer Society’s formal Coaches vs. Cancer program and some schools raising funds and donating to other cancer-related charities such as Susan G. Komen Foundation, the Sharon L. Bassett Foundation or other local hospitals or agencies.
This year’s efforts by Indiana coaches brings the seven-year total of money raised to fight cancer to more than $755,000 through the 2014-15 season.
Those coaches who got their teams involved in the fight against cancer are teaching their players something more important than offense or defense. Coaches are teaching their players a skill that will carry on throughout their lives and into the communities where they will work and serve. Please continue to be a positive influence on the youth of our great state, and help them become productive citizens of tomorrow.
The following is a list of schools that have informed the IBCA and/or the American Cancer Society about their participation in an event to raise funds for cancer charities:
