The American Cancer Society's Coaches vs. Cancer - Suits And Sneakers ® Week (January 24-30, 2022) is a nationwide event that unites coaches across the country to raise funds and awareness about the fight against cancer and promotes the American Cancer Society as a source of inspiration and hope for those facing cancer. While coaching games during the week, coaches wear sneakers with their game attire as a visible reminder of their support of the American Cancer Society.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges for cancer patients and survivors who've had to pause their treatments and screening protocols. Coaches participating in Suits And Sneakers Week help raise visibility and funds to support the American Cancer Society's work to help cancer patients and survivors safely resume treatments and screenings, and contribute in a meaningful way to the mission to end cancer.

For over 25 years, the Coaches vs. Cancer program, in collaboration with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, has united coaches and fans nationwide to help the American Cancer Society defeat a common enemy – cancer. With your passion and dedicated support, the impact has been felt in communities nationwide. Through fundraising and education initiatives, the Coaches vs. Cancer program has supported the American Cancer Society in improving and saving lives from cancer in the US and worldwide. The fight isn't over and we need you on our team. For more information and to join coaches in the fight against cancer, visit coachesvscancer.org
