Owls Set Coaches vs. Cancer Date

The Citrus College men's and women's basketball teams have teamed up with the American Cancer Society and the CCCAA in the fight against cancer.

The Owls set the date for the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers game as Jan. 25 when West LA comes to the Owls' Nest for a doubleheader, beginning with the women's game at 5 p.m. Fans can donate to the Owls' campaigns online HERE for the women's team and HERE for the men's team.

For more than nearly 30 years, the American Cancer Society and National Association of Basketball Coaches have collaborated to unite basketball coaches and fans through the Coaches vs. Cancer program to defeat a common enemy – cancer. Because of their passion and dedicated support, the impact they've made has been felt in communities nationwide.

Through fundraising and education initiatives, the Coaches vs. Cancer program has supported the American Cancer Society in helping to save more lives from cancer. All funds raised through the Coaches vs. Cancer campaign will benefit the American Cancer Society's screening initiatives that encourages people to schedule regular cancer screening tests. Regular screening for cancer can help save lives. Screening increases the chance of finding certain cancers early when they might be easier to treat. And, some screening tests can prevent cancer by detecting and treating pre-cancers or cell changes before they have a chance to become cancer.
