COACHES VS. CANCER

KC SEASON TIPOFF

Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). This initiative leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of coaches and communities nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs. Since 1993, Coaches vs. Cancer programs have raised nearly $115 million for the American Cancer Society.

​

In 2019, the Coaches vs. Cancer Kansas City Season Tipoff raised $225,000, with more than $103,000 disgnated to fighting life-saving pediatric cancer research. We are proud partners with six world-class coaches, including Coach Bill Self (KU), Bruce Weber (K-State), Cuonzo Martin (Mizzou), Billy Donlon (UMKC), Jacie Hoyt (UMKC) and Ben McCollum (NWMSU).  The success of Coaches vs. Cancer KC would not be possible without their incredible support along with the support of our incredible sponsors and donors.
