Women’s Basketball To Shoot For a Cure During 2020-21 Season
CULLOWHEE, N.C. – The Western Carolina women’s basketball program and the Great Smokies Health Foundation are teaming up to shoot for a cure for breast cancer.
Based in Sylva, the mission of the Great Smokies Health Foundation is to improve the health status of the residents of Jackson, Swain, Macon, and Graham counties through investment and collaboration focused on health, wellness, and prevention. The foundation is governed by a local board with representatives from the communities it serves.
For every 3-pointer made by the women’s basketball team this season, fans can pledge an amount of their choice up to $5 for each made 3-pointer with the funds going to the Great Smokies Health Center Breast Cancer Fund for breast cancer patient services, education, and awareness.
In addition, for every 3-pointer that the WCU women’s basketball team hits in the Ramsey Center, Ingles will make a donation to the Catamount Club Athletic scholarship fund and the Great Smokies Health Center.
“A community is only as strong as those in it are willing to take care of each other. As we launch our Shoot For a Cure, we truly hope and believe neighbors will help neighbors. We want to be engaged and impactful in a meaningful way within Catamount Nation to help the incredible people of Jackson, Swain, Macon, and Graham counties. Please be a willing and active participant, it will be valuable well beyond sport” Kiley Hill, Western Carolina University Women’s Basketball Head Coach
