The Shoot for the Cure campaign, which raises money to help fight breast cancer, will be held virtually the week of Feb. 1 to 7.
A project of the U Sports Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association, this year’s campaign target of $44,000 would bring the total raised over its 14-year span to $1.5 million for the Canadian Cancer Society and other related charities.
All 48 Canadian university women’s basketball programs are slated to take part, with activities that include skills competitions, hair-cutting, trivia nights, auctions, fitness classes, skills clinics, fun walks and runs, eSports tournaments, raffles, 50/50 draws, and re-airing of classic games — all held virtually.
Lancer fans may donate through the team’s individual page on the Canadian Cancer Society website.
