The Coaches vs. Cancer program was created in 1993 by the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. This nationwide effort leverages the strength, community leadership and celebrity of our country’s basketball coaches to fight cancer.

Since moving to the Turning Stone six years ago, this event has raised $2 million in total for the American Cancer Society.
