Since 1993, more than $60 million has been raised by Coaches vs. Cancer participants across the nation. The American Cancer Society utilizes those funds in their groundbreaking cancer research, as well as to provide up-to-date cancer information, education, advocacy for public health policies, and deliver services to improve quality of life for patients and their families.
Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaborative effort between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that allows coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
