About:
Franklin High School Boys Basketball hosted a Coaches vs. Cancer night at home against Mansfield, using the game as a platform to raise awareness and support for cancer patients.
The community was encouraged to wear Carolina Blue in honor of Nick Gaspar, creating a powerful show of unity throughout the gym. Fans, families, and supporters had the opportunity to contribute to the cause by donating to the NickStrongFoundation, which provides meaningful support to individuals and families affected by cancer.
By dedicating a game to this important mission, Franklin student-athletes demonstrated that athletics can drive impact far beyond the scoreboard. Coaches vs. Cancer nights like this highlight the values of leadership, compassion, and service that define Franklin Athletics.
