Coaches vs. Cancer Iowa

Coaches vs. Cancer Iowa Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Thanks to the dedication and generosity of our Coaches vs. Cancer event sponsors, participants and donors, the American Cancer Society is able to work every day to save lives from cancer by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. The state's four Division I men's basketball coaches and their wives team up to host two events annually to fight cancer. Please jo

Consider this a late whistle… but we couldn’t let it go uncelebrated. 🏀🎉
Happy Belated Birthday to Coach Henderson! Your leadership on and off the court, and your dedication to the fight against cancer, make a lasting impact every single day.
Thanks for being a true champion in our community

What a night! The Coaches vs. Cancer Suits & Sneakers Gala, presented by Hy-Vee, raised $700,000 and counting to support the fight against cancer.

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing sponsors, generous donors, inspiring cancer fighters, and everyone who joined us—you are the reason this work matters and continues to make an impact. 💙

A special thank you to Iowa men’s basketball coaches—Eric Henderson (Drake), T.J. Otzelberger (Iowa State), Ben McCollum (University of Iowa), and Kyle Green (UNI), for being part of the evening and sharing their insights during an inspiring coaches panel.

Here’s a sneak peek at a few moments from the night—more photos coming soon!
