MEADVILLE, Pa. – Throughout the month of February, the Allegheny men's basketball team will be taking part in the
Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge.
The Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge unites college and high school basketball teams from across the country in teaming up with the American Cancer Society's live-saving mission of ending cancer.
Fans can pledge for every three-pointer the Gators make throughout the month of February, or set up a one-time donation to the American Cancer Society. Donations can be made on the Gators' 3-Point Challenge Page at

The 3-Point Challenge began last season, when Norm Stewart, former head coach at the University of Missouri, challenged fans to pledge a dollar amount for every three-pointer made by his team over the course of the season. The concept evolved, and soon Coaches vs. Cancer became a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
This season, the Gators are one of 142 teams, spanning all three NCAA classifications and the NAIA, to take part in the 3-Point Challenge. Allegheny is one of 20 NCAA Division III squads participating.
