MORAVIAN COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAMS TO HOST
“Coaches versus Cancer Day - Assist with the Fight!”
FEBRUARY 12, 2005

BETHLEHEM, PA --- The Moravian College men’s and women’s basketball teams will be hosting a “Coaches versus Cancer Day” on Saturday February 12, 2005 in a Commonwealth Conference doubleheader with Messiah College.

The women’s game begins at 2:00 p.m. with the men’s contest at 4:00 p.m. The “Coaches vs. Cancer” program increases awareness, while raising funds for the American Cancer Society’s research, education, and patient services. The basketball teams are asking that fans join in this fight. All proceeds from pledges, raffles, and concessions will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

The Greyhounds will also be selling raffle tickets for lift tickets to Camelback Ski Area, gift certificates to Quizno’s, Victory Pizza, and a gift certificate to the Moravian College Bookstore. The teams will also be accepting pledges for each assist the Moravian teams make in the doubleheader. (Currently, the men’s team is averaging 13 assists and the women are averaging 17, so a pledge of $1 would be a $30 donation for the evening.)

Pledge sign up sheets will be available near the entrances of Johnston Hall on Saturday, February 12th. If you can not attend the game, but wish to make a pledge, please contact Amy Endler, Moravian assistant women’s basketball coach, by email at fieldhockey@moravian.edu or by phone at (610) 861-1404 and your name will be added to the pledge sheet.
