They are all members of the National Association of Basketball Coaches that will be participating in the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness Weekend, scheduled for Jan. 29-31.<\/p>\n
During that weekend\u2019s games, \u201cparticipating NABC member coaches will wear sneakers instead of their dress shoes to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society and its vision of a world with less cancer and more birthdays,\u201d according to a press release on NABC.org<\/p>\n
Price has been a member of the NABC for 20 years and said he is proud to be participating on Jan. 30 when the Tartan Pride host Lorain Community College.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re out there wearing your suit and you got your sneakers on, you know you\u2019re part of a bigger fraternity and you know you\u2019re doing the right thing,\u201d said Price.<\/p>\n
Price said there will be a tip jar at the game and that all proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Created in 1950, the MDA is a voluntary health agency aimed at conquering neuromuscular diseases that affect more than one million Americans, according to charitynavigator.org.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to get $500,\u201d said Price. \u201cWhen we go to the MDA telethon on Labor Day we\u2019re going to take that money with us and donate it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Price said he hopes this charitable event along with the other community service his team has done, such as serving Thanksgiving dinner at the Boys and Girls Club of Dayton, will expose his student athletes to the things he thinks they should be doing, which is to be good stewards in the community and positive influences across the Miami Valley.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Sinclair) is a true academic institution,\u201d said Price. \u201cMore so than winning ball games, we\u2019re trying to develop good citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
