Windham
High School boys and girls basketball teams supported the American Cancer
Society at last week’s games.
To
show support for those fighting cancer, “All the boys and the
cheerleaders wore purple shirts that said “Eagles Fight for a Cure.” Rich Drummond
had large purple ribbons painted on the court. They did a public service
announcement before the game mentioning that it was a Coaches vs. Cancer game.
They also sold pick bracelets that said “Windham Eagles Fight for a Cure” on
them and donated a portion of the gate to ACS. They did a wonderful job,” said
ACS community events specialist Brian Casalinova. The same things happened at
the girl’s game as well.
According
to Casalinova, the Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration
between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball
Coaches. The initiative leverages the personal experiences, community
leadership, and professional excellence of coaches nationwide to increase
cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year round awareness
efforts, fundraising activities and advocacy programs.
