Coaches vs. Cancer Basketball Game
Free tickets are available to join the University of Illinois Cancer Center on Sunday, February 16, for the Coaches vs. Cancer UIC Flames men’s basketball game. The coaches will wear one-of-a-kind sneakers painted by patients, players, coaches, friends and UI Health Pediatric Hematology/Oncology physicians and nurses.
The game against Missouri State is part of the annual Coaches vs. Cancer program, a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The Cancer Center, UIC Flames and UI Health partnered to host a sneaker painting party in January, and the Flames are providing free tickets to the game.
The Flames tipoff at 2 p.m. on Sunday, February 16, at Credit Union 1 Arena, 525 South Racine Avenue in Chicago.
The Cancer Center is part of UI Health at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). A Cancer Center partnership with the Flames is an opportunity to share information about cancer awareness, prevention, screening and clinical trials with our community of students, faculty, staff, their friends and families, and sports fans at games.
