updated January 20 with charity information.
Across the country, January 24-29 is Coaches vs Cancer week. In honor of this week of awareness and action, Front Range Christian School has designated January 27, when the Falcons face Belleview Christian on the court, our Coaches vs Cancer game. The two schools come together to stand up for the fight against cancer and build awareness.
That night, all players will wear special t shirts and socks, and all coaches will wear sneakers on the sideline to show unity in this fight. Between the Varsity Girls and Varsity Boys games, we will honor those who have fought the brave fight and those who stood alongside a loved one who has fought or is fighting cancer.
Admission to the game is a $6 donation given to local Colorado non-profit Brent’s Place. Brent’s Place is a long-term, home-away-from-home for children and families with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses while they receive treatment at local hospitals. In addition to safe, clean housing, they also provide a variety of uniquely-tailored programs and services for the entire family — all designed to help in the healing process. We’ll make additional opportunities to donate to Brent’s Place available throughout the evening.

For those who are or know someone who is fighting cancer, we invite you to grab a card when you enter the gym and fill it out. During the evening, there will be a moment in which we ask those with a card to stand so that we can honor you and your fight or walk alongside someone who is or has fought against cancer.
FRCS and Belleview Christian come together to make this night bigger than a basketball game between two opponents. We are all one family and want to raise awareness about this horrible disease.
Please join us on Thursday, January 27, for this special night in the FRCS Gym (6637 W Ottawa Ave, Littleton). JV Boys play at 4pm, V Girls at 5:30pm, and V Boys at 7pm.
