About:
Every year for the past 19 yrs I have had a coaches vs cancer game. It has grown so much over time. We raise money each year and give it to a local family that we know who has gone thru cancer or who is currently going thru cancer. The girls and families purchase shirts to support our cause and wear them for warmups. We collect donations at the door for our cause. We run a 50 50 and also do a chuck a duck and half court shots for more money.
Last year and this year we donated to a family in our program who was affected by Cancer. This year it was an Aunt of one of our players who is always at the games supporting us. We were able to raise $1000 for her this year.
It is a special event for me since my mom died of breast cancer 19 years ago. I wanted to do something for our local families and our program jumped in board.
