Philadelphia Coaches Team Up to Fight Cancer

Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers basketball coaches, their teams, and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Through this program, coaches host or participate in a variety of activities and involve their community to help battle the disease. From formal galas to halftime shoot-outs, there are many opportunities for coaches to increase cancer awareness, promote healthy living, and raise money to help save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
