The Coaches vs. Cancer School Initiative leverages the visibility and passion of High Schools, Middle Schools, and Elementary schools to raise funds and awareness among students, faculty, and local communities. The School initiative
consists of Philadelphia area volunteers working with local Principals, Athletic Directors and Coaches
to coordinate various school specific events that raise funds and increase
Cancer prevention and awareness.
Schools participate by donating a portion of tickets sales, holding contests and
raffles, and or by collecting donations. Events have been held on large and small scales. Last Season, the Coaches vs. Cancer School
Initiative raised over $200,000 for the fight to BEAT cancer!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
We are asking that you designate a
Coaches vs. Cancer Fundraising Day at your school's game(s). Raising funds can be as easy as adding $1 to
the cost of every ticket and enlisting the help of your cheerleaders to collect
donations in the stands.
100% of the proceeds generated through our year-round Coaches vs. Cancer efforts benefit the American Cancer Society's programs of research, education, patient services, and advocacy.
Please complete the CvC Game Day Kit Order Form, return it to the American Cancer Society and you will
receive the materials you need!
