The Colgate Raiders 3-point shots will raise money for the American Cancer Society's Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge.

The Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge allows the more than 200 college and high school basketball teams nationwide to use their spotlight on the court to raise money and awareness against cancer. Fans can pledge a donation for each 3-point shot their favorite team makes during February to support American Cancer Society research, education, and patient programs.

The 3-Point Challenge will pit teams against rival schools to raise the most funds, as fans follow the leaderboard on http://www.3pointchallenge.org to see who will become the 3-Point Challenge Champion.

"The 3-Point Challenge gives our fans the chance to support our team and compete against our rivals while fundraising for a great cause," said Colgate Raiders Head Coach Matt Langel. “Raiders fans are passionate about both basketball and supporting our community. We’re excited to be a part of this great cause again this year.”
