Coaches vs. Cancer

The Coaches vs. Cancer Suits And Sneakers Challenge engages basketball fans throughout the nation and allows them an opportunity to make a difference in the fight against cancer at their workplace. Corporations can join their favorite basketball teams and coaches in the fight against the disease by hosting a Wear Your Sneakers to Work Day. Individuals make a minimum donation of $5 to the American Cancer Society for the opportunity to wear sneakers to work on the first day of the NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament, March 18, 2014.

The annual Suits And Sneakers Awareness Weekend is a nationwide annual event in which coaches across the country unite for a common cause – fighting cancer. During the weekend, coaches and their staff are encouraged to wear sneakers with their suits while coaching games to raise awareness about the fight against cancer and promote the American Cancer Society.

The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The initiative leverages 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.
