Two year's ago, SWCC hosted a similar event, which was a phenomenal success.  The SWCC team raised the most funds of any community college for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund® cancer fund.

This year, proceeds from the event will be donated to the Greater Regional Cancer Center in partnership with Mercy Medical Center. 

Come support the SWCC Spartans as they play basketball in support of breast cancer research.
