On Friday, December 1st, Saturday, December 2nd, and Sunday, December 3rd, the Western Athletic Conference will be sponsoring a Coaches vs. Cancer Tip-Off Classic fundraiser at Fulton-Montgomery Community College. This is the 10th consecutive year we have held this event (minus the 2020-2021 school year due to the pandemic) and we are looking forward to a record number of high schools participating. During the past four full seasons alone, we have raised over $20,000 for the American Cancer Society. While I have stepped down as the Boys Varsity Basketball Coach at Northville, it is my plan to continue running this event each season.
This year's three-day event will feature 16 Boys' Varsity High School Basketball games. The following schools are scheduled to participate: Northville, Sharon Springs, Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Maple Hill, Corinth, Wells, Middleburgh, Richfield Springs, Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville, Fort Plain, South Kortright, Argyle, Duanesburg, Canajoharie, Lake George, Edmeston, Hadley-Luzerne, Mayfield, Cherry Valley-Springfield, Galway, Johnstown, Schoharie, Salem, Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons, Lansingburgh, Fonda-Fultonville, Voorheesville, Gloversville, Tamarac, Broadalbin-Perth, and Cobleskill-Richmondville.
We will also be holding a raffle during the event for various items donated by the community. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Cancer Society. I have attached a flyer for the event and have also included the schedule below.
We anticipate big crowds this year due to many larger schools agreeing to participate but we are still looking to maximize the number of people in attendance however we can. If you could please help us advertise this event over the next few weeks, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you so much for your help and support.
