The IBCA thanks our sponsors:

IBCA initiative against cancer |

Thanks to all coaches, teams, schools and dedicated community members who have participated in the 16th annual IBCA initiative against cancer during the 2022-23 season.
Your contributions to support the fight against cancer are much appreciated. As our spring 2023 e-Newsletter goes “live,” with some schools not yet reporting, participating schools have reported raising $124,330 in the current season – many schools through the American Cancer Society’s formal “Coaches vs. Cancer” program and other schools raising funds for cancer-related charities.
This year’s efforts by Indiana coaches bring the 16-year total of money raised to fight cancer to more than $1.4 million through the 2022-23 season.
Those coaches who got their teams involved in the fight against cancer are teaching their players something more important than offense or defense. Coaches are teaching their players a skill that will carry on throughout their lives and into the communities where they will work and serve. Please continue to be a positive influence on the youth of our great state, and help them become productive citizens of tomorrow.
If your school hosted a benefit game in 2022-23 and you have yet to report/turn in your funds, please do so with the American Cancer Society by contacting Michael Smith. He may be reached at michael.smith@cancer.org. His mailing address is: 5635 W. 96th St., Suite 100, Indianapolis, IN 46278.
In addition, please alert Gene Milner of the IBCA (gmilner@tds.net) the amount you donated and who the beneficiary is, if not the American Cancer Society.

| Members of the Triton Central girls basketball program pose on the day of their annual "Pink Out" Game. Triton Central raised more than $24,000 on its Jan. 20 game this season against Tri-West. In 15 years, the Triton Central girls have raised nearly $230,000 for cancer-related charities. |
