Rochester, MN - Volunteers, athletes and coaches from the Rochester community are coming together on February 12 for a friendly competition that helps raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches that empowers coaches, their teams, and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Last year more than 75 schools in Minnesota held events at their schools to raise over $80,000.
“We have raised more than $12,000 over the past two years with the Coaches versus Cancer program,” said Mark Kuisle, Activities Director for Rochester Century High School. “We’re grateful to all the volunteers and supporters that help us raise thousands of dollars each year, all of which remains right here in Olmsted County.”
The event, which will take place at Century High School, consists of multiple activities; girls and boys basketball games, a silent auction, half-time events, free throw contest and more. General admission is $6 for adults, $4 for students. Admission will be free to anyone wearing a “2013 Coaches vs. Cancer” t-shirt. Event t-shirts will also be available to purchase at the event.
GAME TIME:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12
GIRLS BASKETBALL 5:45 PM
BOYS BASKETBALL 7:30 PM
