Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) that empowers basketball coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. The program seeks to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living among students, faculty, staff, fans and the community at large.

Since its inception in 1993, the program has raised more than $87 million to support the American Cancer Society's mission.
