ATHENS,
Ohio -- Ohio University men's basketball coach Larry Hunter
will kick off the 1999-2000 Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point
Attack campaign on Saturday, Dec. 18. There will be a
kickoff press conference at 6:30 p.m. in the Rohr Room of
the Convocation Center, followed by a presentation at
halftime of the men's basketball game vs. Toledo.
The
Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Attack unites basketball coaches
and fans with local units of the American Cancer Society.
The program combines the pledges of Bobcat fans with the
number of three-point field goals made by the Bobcat team to
raise money for the local chapter of the American Cancer
Society. You can participate by completing a pledge card
designating how much you will donate per three-point field
goal successfully completed. Pledge cards will be available
at all remaining Bobcat Basketball games and can be dropped
off at the Ohio Athletics Ticket Office. You can complete a
pledge card at any time during the basketball season. At the
end of the season, Intercollegiate Athletics will announce
how many three-point field goals were completed, and you
make your donation.
Last
season, contributions from the 3-Point Attack raised
$7,590.15 to fight cancer. In 1998-99, Ohio Bobcat fans
raised the most money among the 12 college basketball teams
that participated in the state of Ohio.
Pledge
cards will be available at Bobcat Basketball games and can
be dropped off at the Ohio Athletics Ticket Office.
