STANDISH, ME – The Saint Joseph's College softball program will host a Coaches vs. Cancer Awareness event when the Monks host the Blue Jays of University of Saint Joseph (CT) at 1:00 PM on Saturday, April 19th.
The annual Coaches vs. Cancer event, which is supported by all Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) programs, started in 1993 as a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) to empower college basketball coaches, their teams, and their local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
In support of the event, the Monks will hold a 50-50 raffle with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. Players from both teams will be sporting pink gear, in honor of the cause, during the games.
The program has expanded and grown to include school and league teams at all levels and from all sports. From basketball courts to soccer fields and from football fields to running tracks, now any coach and/or team can be a part of the Coaches vs. Cancer program.
