NIC basketball participates in Coaches vs. Cancer

North Idaho College will participate in the Coaches vs. Cancer campaign Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Christianson Gymnasium on NIC’s main campus in Coeur d’Alene. 

NIC basketball will face Yakima Valley College. The women’s game starts at 2 p.m. and the men’s game starts at 4 p.m.

The coaches of each team will wear sneakers with their suits/dress attire as part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness and encourage people to educate themselves on the importance of prevention, screening and early detection of cancer, all while raising funds to help save lives.

The NIC Athletics Department will accept donations throughout the afternoon and will host halftime games to raise funds. 

The Best Western Plus Coeur d’Alene Inn will match NIC’s fundraiser up to $250. All proceeds go to Kootenai Clinic Cancer Services to support local cancer research, services, awareness and promote cancer prevention efforts. 

Only cash and check donations can be accepted. Checks can be made out to Kootenai Clinic Cancer Services.  felicia.andrade@nic.edu.
