Hartwick's men's and women's basketball programs will be hosting a Coaches Versus Cancer Suits and Sneakers Event January 30-February 1 at Binder Gymnasium.
Tonight versus St. John Fisher (game times at 6 and 8 p.m.) and Sunday against Nazareth (game times at noon and 2 p.m.), both Hartwick coaching staffs, along with coaches throughout the nation, will don sneakers with their coaching attire at to show support for the Coaches vs. Cancer program.
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. Since the program's inception in 1993, high school and basketball coaches across the United States have raised nearly $45 million to support the ACS's efforts to save lives from cancer.
There will be 50-50 raffles occurring during Friday's and Sunday's games, and donations to help fight the disease can be made at the door.
