Officials vs. Cancer
Make a Difference, “Officials versus Cancer 2009/2010”- IAABO officials raised over $63,000.00 to assist in the fight against Cancer during the 2008/2009 season
Where can an official help fight cancer?
On the basketball court. This year, IAABO is joining forces with the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the American Cancer Society during the “Coaches vs. Cancer” crusade. Officials can do their part to blow the whistle on this disease which affects too many people. To help, all one needs to do is donate up to 25% of a game fee to this worthy cause. During the week of January 25 - January 30, 2010, participating officials will dispaly their committment to the campaign by using a white or pink whistle that will be provided to him/her once a contribution to the crusade has been made. Please make the court a bit more colorful the week of January 25th - January 30th. Help IAABO show the athletic community our determination for this cause. Please make checks payable to: American Cancer Society. Donations may be made anytime, but must be received no later than January 15th, 2010 to be part of the presentation to be made at the Final Four on behalf of IAABO.
