Canisius head men’s basketball coach Reggie Witherspoon announced today that the Golden Griffins are joining the Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge. The contest directly benefits American Cancer Society through the Coaches vs. Cancer initiative.
Friends, family and fans of the Griffs are encouraged to make a contribution for every 3-point field goal made in the month of February to help the men’s basketball program reach its goal of raising $5,000 for the Coaches vs. Cancer Campaign.
As of Feb. 1, Canisius has made 231 3-pointers as a team, which ranks 24th in the nation. People interested in helping support the Griffs’ effort in the Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge can make a donation based on total 3-pointers made during the month, on a per game basis or through a straight donation to the campaign.
