Just the Facts

Coaches v. Cancer is a national campaign that raises money for cancer research via college basketball programs throughout the nation. Ole Miss is a participant in this program. The way we raise money is to pass out three-point cards before every home game to any fan who will take one. On the back of the card is a form that asks for donations to Coaches v. Cancer. Fans can donate a flat dollar amount ($20 for example) or can choose to pledge from anywhere from $0.05 to as much as they can afford for every three-point shot the Rebels make during the season.

The way Golden Key is involved is that we are the volunteers to pass out those three-point cards. About an hour before the game, about six of us meet to pass out the cards right up until tip-off time. Volunteers are then free to leave, or they can just enjoy the game. Last year Ole Miss raised over $10,000 for Coaches v. Cancer. This year our goal is $15,000. The success of this program relies heavily on the support that Golden Key members provide at each of the games.
