Alabama Men's Basketball
Joins The Fight Against Cancer
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – Far too many have had to deal with ravages of the dread disease we call cancer. This disease discriminates against no one. It attacks all races and nationalities, young and old alike. Cancer.
The University of Alabama will join the fighter against this hated killer. Alabama men's basketball head coach Avery Johnson will join over 4,000 basketball coaches and staff from all across the United States for Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness Week, January 23-29. Alabama Crimson Tide fans are encouraged to join Johnson's Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge team to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
With the launch of the 3-Point Challenge, Bama fans will have the opportunity to pledge a monetary amount for every 3-pointer made now through March 5th. The funds raised will help the American Cancer Society continue its mission to improving and saving lives by doing the most to help people with cancer today and working tirelessly to find cures for the disease tomorrow.
Johnson and his Alabama basketball staff will be wearing sneakers and launch the team's Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge during their games this week against the Georgia Bulldogs and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
