Monroe Community College will host Region III rival Mercyhurst North East in a basketball doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 8 as part of the Coaches vs. Cancer program.
The Lady Tribunes will take on the Saints at 1 p.m., followed by the men's game at 3 p.m. Donations will be accepted at the door. All proceeds from the event will go to the American Cancer Society. Members of the MCC athletic department along with Tribune student-athletes have been selling personalized cards for $1 all week. The cards will be displayed at the games.
The Coaches vs. Cancer program empowers coaches, their teams, and communities to join the fight against cancer by participating in awareness efforts, advocacy programs, and fundraising activities. Guided by the Coaches vs. Cancer Council, participating coaches help people with cancer today and to find cures to end the disease tomorrow, and have raised more than $87 million to help the American Cancer Society’s mission.
