Basketball coaches to raise funds for ACS and spread cancer awareness.
The annual Coaches vs. Cancer Suits And Sneakers Week is coming up soon!
From Jan. 24 to 31, 2022, basketball coaches across the country will wear sneakers with their traditional game attire to raise funds and awareness about the fight against cancer, share the importance of nutrition and physical activity in reducing cancer risk, and promote the American Cancer Society as the place to turn to for help and support.
During Suits And Sneakers Week, several coaches from across the country will wear specially designed Coaches vs. Cancer Suits And Sneakers polos/pullovers to raise awareness about the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer. Participating schools include Baylor, Duke, Gonzaga, Purdue, Alabama, UCLA, and the University of Southern California, with more expected to join in. Alternate versions of the coaches’ apparel are available for purchase by fans and supporters, with net proceeds of shirt sales benefiting the American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer program. The limited-edition apparel will be available for through the end of January.
In addition to Suits And Sneakers Week, our Suits And Sneakers fundraising platform can be used by any school (college, high school, and youth league) or volunteer to create a customizable fundraising page. Teams and individuals who choose to participate in this fundraising element of Suits And Sneakers can fundraise anytime, and are not limited to just Suits And Sneakers Week.
You can follow the action on the national leaderboard at SuitsAndSneakers.org. The top fundraising college and high school teams in the nation will be recognized as Suits And Sneakers National Champions on March 31.
Funds raised in the 2021-22 season will support childhood cancer research, services, and awareness, as well as promote cancer prevention efforts targeting children.
