The Crystal Lake Central Boys Basketball Program has teamed up with the American Cancer Society and will be hosting its 4th Annual Coaches vs. Cancer Thanksgiving Basketball Tournament. Six area teams will be participating this year, host Crystal Lake Central, McHenry, Prairie Ridge, Antioch, Belvidere North, and Hoffman Estates, with all proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society.
Coaches vs. Cancer has been in existence since 1993. Originally the brain child of basketball coach Norm Stewart (University of Missouri), the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the American Cancer Society; this event has seen much success and continues to grow. Currently, 500+ Division I, II, & III colleges participate, and high schools across the country are now joining the effort as well.
CLC players, coaches, and parents will be volunteering their time to help run this event in an effort to raise community awareness about the need for additional cancer research funding.
