About:
Throughout the week of October 6, the Varsity and Junior Varsity coaches and student athletes raised money and awareness for the American Cancer Society as part of our 1st annual Coaches vs. Cancer week. Coaches vs. Cancer is a Nationwide program that helps increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living among students, faculty and staff, fans and the community at large through year round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs. The fundraising efforts here included the student athletes selling t-shirts and collecting donations during 9th and 10th period at the high school. At each home game our student athletes proudly wore their Coaches vs. Cancer T-Shirts during their warm ups and during the games they wore pink socks, shoelaces and pink headbands as well.
As a result of their hard work and dedication to this cause the POB Athletic Department was able to donate over $2,300 to American Cancer Society to help fight the battle against cancer. The success of this event is due to the outstanding efforts of our coaches and student athletes. Special thanks to the POB Booster Club and Cheerleading Coach Stacey Brennan.
