Great Hollow Middle to Host Annual Coaches vs. Cancer Fundraising Event Thursday

The Great Hollow Middle School athletic department will host its third annual Coaches vs. Cancer fundraising event on Thursday, Oct. 9, beginning around 4 p.m. on the school campus fields.

Several home sporting events will be held, with the football, field hockey, girls soccer, cross country, cheerleading and kickline teams all in action.

The community is invited to watch these student-athletes demonstrate their talents on the playing fields, while raising money for the American Cancer Society. Coaches vs. Cancer pin-ups are on sale for $1, allowing the purchaser to write in their family’s name or the name of someone who is battling cancer or has lost the battle. The pin-ups will be displayed in the GHMS main office lobby following the event. Donations will also be accepted. All money collected will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

The Coaches vs. Cancer program empowers coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer. All money raised will be donated in the name of the late GHMS teacher Arty Miller, who recently lost his battle with cancer.

Great Hollow Middle is located at 150 Southern Boulevard in Nesconset.
