ALBANY, N.Y. – University at Albany men’s basketball head coach Will Brown announced Wednesday that he will host a coaching clinic to benefit the Coaches vs. Cancer program through the American Cancer Society on Sunday, Sept. 22 at SEFCU Arena from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
“I am excited to team up with The American Cancer Society to host the Coaches vs. Cancer Coaching Clinic in the SEFCU Arena,” said Brown. “It will be a great day of basketball as we have put together a tremendous line-up of guest speakers. More importantly we will be raising money and awareness as we try to help in the fight against cancer.”
The clinic will feature Brown, the longest-tenured head coach in the America East, along with several other coaches from around the league. Binghamton’s second-year head coach Tommy Dempsey and Hartford’s John Gallagher will co-host, along with area head coaches Matt Langel of Colgate and Siena’s Jimmy Patsos. Boston University’s Joe Jones will round out the group.
“The American Cancer Society continues to receive tremendous support from Coach Will Brown and the Great Danes basketball program,” said Anthony Marino, the Eastern Division Director of Coaches vs. Cancer. “I know that September 22 will be a great day for Coaches vs. Cancer and the coaches able to join us.”
The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a partnership between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches to “increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living among students, faculty and staff, fans and the community at large.” The initiative has raised more than $ 87 million for the American Cancer Society.
Registration for the clinic is now open with an entry fee of $ 25.00. All proceeds benefit the Coaches vs. Cancer initiative. Day-of registration and admittance begin at 8:30 a.m.
