Capital City Coaches for a Cure Classic
The Classic was born from several factors. First, a desire to host a quality event to raise money for cancer research and patient care. Cancer has touched me personally - my mother is a pancreatic cancer survivor, my wife’s mother passed away from breast cancer, my colleague Damon Goodwin, the head men’s basketball coach at Capital University, is a leukemia cancer survivor, and Pam Briggs, a friend and colleague who coached softball at Capital, passed away from breast cancer.
In 2021, I was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. I was fortunate to catch the disease early and now I am a Cancer survivor as well. It seems cancer touches us all in some way. The Five C Classic is a way to help those afflicted with this insidious disease.
