COACHES VS. CANCER



Friday Night's game against St. Thomas fit perfectly into the college basketball schedule with the annual Coaches Vs. Cancer week. Both school's coaches wore their usual suits and paired them with sneakers to raise awareness for cancer prevention programs. Embry- Riddle's Relay for Life team was at the ICI prior to the game getting their purple up everywhere around the gym.

All of the gate collected for the game went to the Relay for Life team, as did sales of our remaining pink Chuck Norris t-shirts, and the money collected from the Car Bash held before the Northwood game.

All told, there was over $500 we were able to give to the American Cancer Society. At half-time we invited everyone who dressed as the coaches do onto the court for a picture. We were also able to bring out breast cancer survivor Sally Sebastyan who helps organize the Daytona Beach Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.

It was a great night, thank you to all who helped make it happen. Remember - Relay for Life v.ERAU is coming March 27-28. Help make a difference.
