Civically minded holistician Bruce Ratner is outdoing himself.
Coaches vs. Cancer, a fundraising effort between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches will bring teams from BYU, Florida State, Notre Dame, and Saint Joseph’s to the Barclays Center this fall to hopefully raise big bucks for cancer research.
Since 1993, Coaches vs. Cancer has raised more than $80 million to fund research, provide up-to-date cancer literacy, advocate for public health policies and help to improve the quality of life for patients and families.
