Coaches vs. Cancer in Maryland - BBQ Bash 2010

This Fall, September 18, you and other community leaders can enjoy one of the area’s premier events during an exciting evening filled with fine barbecue fare, a spectacular auction, mingling with the basketball coaches and much more! And as we come together for a cause, the American Cancer Society will continue to save lives and create more birthdays by helping people to stay well and get well, find cures, and fight back against a disease that has taken too many lives.

For nearly a century, the American Cancer Society has fought for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. By taking what we’ve learned through research and turning it into what we do, we have contributed to a 15 percent decrease in the overall cancer death rate between the early 1990s and 2005. That means that we helped avoid about 650,000 cancer deaths and created the potential for more birthday celebrations. Overall, 11 million cancer survivors in America will celebrate a birthday this year.

Now that’s a reason to celebrate, so please join us for an evening of inspiration with the coaches! We hope to see you there!
