The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers basketball coaches, their teams, and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. The program leverages the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of basketball coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs.
The 'Dare to be Strong” Women's Health Awareness game is supported by UD women's basketball each season as part of the annual Play 4Kay initiative (formerly known as WBCA Pink Zone). Since its inception in 2007, the Play 4Kay support has continued to grow from the participation of hundreds of schools and organizations across the country for the opportunity for coaches and teams to raise breast cancer awareness across campuses, in communities and beyond.
