Participating NABC-member college men’s basketball coaches, including Coach Paben and the Bellevue University staff, will wear sneakers instead of dress shoes with their usual game attire during the Saturday, Jan. 30 game against top-ranked and defending national champion Oklahoma Wesleyan University to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society’s fight to save lives from cancer.
To show your support of Coach Paben’s effort in the fight against cancer, we invite all fans in attendance to wear your sneakers to the game too. Game time is set for 5 p.m. in the Gordon Lozier Athletic Center.
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of college and high school coaches across the country, Coaches vs. Cancer has been helping the American Cancer Society save lives since 1993 by helping people stay well by educating and empowering people to avoid cancer or find it early; helping people get well with free programs and services when they’re facing cancer; by finding cures by conducting and investing in research that yields groundbreaking discoveries into cancer’s causes and cures; and by fighting back by helping pass laws that fight cancer and keep our communities healthy.
