YPN Mission
The Young Professional network of the Philadelphia Coaches vs. Cancer Chapter was created to bring Philadelphia’s up and coming business people to support the fight against cancer. The Coaches vs. Cancer program has pledged $1 million of proceeds over 5 years to help build the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge, which is scheduled to open in 2009. Hope Lodge is a “home away from home” for patients going through treatment in the Philadelphia area. Hope Lodge is such a great idea, and the first of its kind in the Philadelphia area, the Young Professional Committee is donating 100% of the profits from the Young Professional tickets sold to the BasketBall Gala directly to Hope Lodge. These funds will go towards the everyday necessities.

Fall 2010

Dear Coach:

1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be touched by cancer.

It is with this urgency that we have dedicated ourselves to the American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer Program (CvC). This is also why we need you to join our team. TOGETHER, we can win this fight!

WHO WE ARE:
Coaches vs. Cancer is a national initiative designed to leverage the visibility and passion of our fellow college coaches for the most important game of all… beating cancer. In Philadelphia, Coaches vs. Cancer has a unique edge in that all six of us have committed to attack cancer together.

Since 1996 we have raised over 6.4 million. With your help, we hope to raise even more vital funds this year. Last season, Coaches vs. Cancer’s School Initiative alone raised over $230,000 for the fight against cancer!

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
We are asking that you designate a Coaches vs. Cancer Fundraising Day at your school’s game(s). Raising funds can be as easy as adding $1 to the cost of every ticket and enlisting the help of your cheerleaders to collect donations in the stands.

100% of the proceeds generated through our year-round Coaches vs. Cancer efforts benefit the American Cancer Society and help patients Stay Well, Get Well, Find Cures, and Fight BACK!
Please review the Game Day Order Form, return it to the American Cancer Society and you will receive the materials you need!

	Schools’ whose fund raising efforts total $1,000 or more will receive a commemorative banner to hang in the gymnasium as a reflection of your school’s commitment in the fight against cancer.
	Schools’ whose fund raising efforts total $1,500 or more will receive an invitation, for two school representatives, to attend the Coaches vs. Cancer School Initiative Appreciation Meet & Greet.

YOU HAVE THE POWER:
As coaches, you play such an influential role in your local community as well as the Philadelphia sports tradition. Your participation can be as simple or involved as you prefer. Our main priorities are to raise awareness and funds. Please join us in this crucial effort.

On your team in the fight against cancer,
