Coaches vs. Cancer

The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Since 1993, this initiative has leveraged the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs.

Every cancer. Every life.

Be the Match

The power to save lives is in your hands. Every three to four minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Thousands of patients with blood cancers or other diseases need a blood stem cell transplant to survive. 70% of patients needing a transplant don’t have a fully matched donor in their family- that’s when they turn to National Marrow Donation Program. Turn your innate goodness into a limitless, life-saving gift. Learn more and join the blood stem cell registry by visiting the Phi Theta Kappa table in the gym entrance lobby.

Baseline Prostate Cancer Awareness

By educating men in the community about the importance of prostate cancer screening and the risks and benefits of different treatment options, the organization could help increase awareness and understanding of the disease. This could lead to more men getting screened and seeking treatment when needed.
