Hoop Team Raises Money
The Lansingburgh boys' varsity basketball team not only earned a 69-40 victory in its home game against Schalmont on January 29, but also scored a victory in a fundraiser to help fight cancer.
Community donations were sought at the game as part of the national Coaches vs. Cancer campaign to raise money to fight the disease. A total of $275 was collected. All proceeds were donated to the American Cancer Society.
Coaches vs. Cancer 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 basketball coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs. Coaches vs. Cancer provides critical mission outreach, while raising funds in support of the Society's lifesaving cancer research, education, advocacy, and community service efforts.
