About Coaches vs. Cancer
Norm Stewart, former head coach of the University of Missouri’s men’s basketball program, cancer survivor, and member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, provided the vision and inspiration for the Coaches vs. Cancer concept. He started the program in 1993 by challenging fans to pledge a dollar amount for every three-point shot made by his team during the season. The concept has evolved into a nationwide effort uniting coaches, fans, players, and communities across the country to fight cancer, raising more than $50 million to bring an end to this disease.
