ORANGEBURG, SC—South Carolina State men's basketball coaching staff will kick off the Coaches vs. Cancer campaign this week, beginning Monday (Jan 23rd) versus Delaware State in a 7:30 p.m. tip-off at Smith-Hammond-Middleton Memorial Center.
The American Cancer Society's Coaches vs. Cancer-Suits and Sneakers ®Week begins January 23-29,2023, and is a nationwide event that unites coaches across the country to raise funds and awareness about the fight against cancer and promotes the American Cancer Society as a source of inspiration and hope for those facing cancer.
While coaching games during the week, coaches wear sneakers with their suits as a visible reminder of their support of the American Cancer Society.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges for cancer patients and survivors who have had to pause their treatments and screening protocols over the past few years.
Coaches participating in Suits and Sneakers Week help raise visibility and funds to support the American Cancer Society's work to help cancer patients and survivors safely resume treatments and screenings and contribute in a meaningful way to the mission to end cancer.
Fans are asked to wear garnet or "their sneakers" to the game to show their support.
