Written by Randy Brown | Oct 27, 2022 3:14:00 PM

We want to share this timely information with our IBCA membership. As you know we are partnered with CvC and Krista Walsh has a follow up message from the clinic that is important for all to know. 

1. Thank you to everyone who connected with Krista at the IBCA Coaches Clinic and a special thank you to those who have already scheduled their Coaches vs. Cancer basketball game this season.  Let’s make this the best year yet!

Cancer truly does impact all of us and together we can make a difference.  When hosting Coaches vs. Cancer events, you are teaming up with coaches across Iowa to spread awareness and raise funds for the American Cancer Society and we are honored to partner with this organization.  If you haven’t scheduled your game or are looking for additional information, the American Cancer Society can help. 

If you are a cancer survivor or caregiver or you know someone who is, that is willing to share their story with the American Cancer Society, they are looking for personal stories to share and would love to hear from you.

For more information, please reach out to your local American Cancer Society staff partner, or our contact, Krista Walsh – krista.walsh@cancer.orgor 515-631-5687. 

2. Iowa Wolves Hoops for Hope Game 11/19/2022:

We are excited to partner with the Iowa Wolves this season as they host a Hoops for Hope game on Saturday, November 19 when they take on the Wisconsin Herd. This game is a great opportunity to join the fight against cancer and watch great basketball, including some former players from across our state’s universities as AJ Green (UNI)  and Lindell Wigginton (ISU) are on the Herd’s roster and Jordan Bohannon (Iowa) and Luka Garza (Iowa) are on the Iowa Wolves roster.
