Nearly 1.3 million people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer this year.   

 

 

One in two men and one in three women, or approximately 120 million Americans, will develop cancer over their lifetime.    

 

 

One of every four deaths in America is caused by cancer. It is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., exceeded only by heart disease.    

 

 

Since 1990, approximately 15 million new cancer cases have been diagnosed.    

 

 

More than 1,500 people die of cancer per day - about one person every 56 seconds.   

 

 

Nearly 5 million lives have been lost to cancer since 1990.    

 

 

The National Institutes of Health estimates overall costs for cancer in 2000 at $180.2 billion.     

 

 

Our government currently invests only $3.2 billion to find cures, treatments and prevention strategies for cancer. Of these funds,   only 2% are invested in research and development. This amounts to $12.03 per year per person.    

 

 

8,900,000 people are alive today as a result of progress in cancer research.    

 

 

Over the past 30 years, the five year cancer survival rate has risen from 38% to 60% according to the National Coalition for Cancer Research.  

 

 

 

 

 


Statistics from: The American Cancer Society, The American Association for Cancer Research,  and The National Coalition for Cancer Research.

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)     Detailed Instructions along with a Schedule;
ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)     Player Pledge Forms
ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)     Team Summary Results Forms

Instructions.doc   Left Arrow.gif (1461 bytes)  CLICK HERE to print out the instructions in Microsoft Word:

Please follow the instructions below:

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)       Please make (2) copies of the "Player’s Pledge Form" for each of your participating players for their use in soliciting sponsors for the fundraiser. Please let them know that if they need more forms to come see you for more copies. I’m hopeful that you are receptive to making copies for your players, which will help to keep the fundraiser’s overall costs down. Thanks!
All contributions are considered CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS and
TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)      As soon as your schedule permits, determine an Event Date in your Gym. Introduce the Fundraiser to your players, facilitate the enthusiasm around it and distribute the Player Pledge Forms to your players. Give them a week, or so, to solicit sponsors and patrons. Make certain to create a "sense of competition" as the incentives for the players should increase your team’s profitability, as well as the Fundraiser. Again, there is NO SET DATE for the Event at your school, so choose your date which best supports your schedule. If Christmas break is best, then schedule it and communicate with your team - the Event date

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)       Have your players accept cash or checks made out to your program, for example – your Basketball Booster organization, your Athletic Department or whatever account you would normally use to conduct fundraising activities. It would be appreciated that you oversee managing the funds such that only one check would be submitted to this event.

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)      Encourage players to ask their patrons for email addresses, if they would have one, and include them in their "Player’s Pledge Form".   Hoop Champs, Inc. would like to send them an email thanking them as well as communicating to them the overall success of the fundraiser.

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)      Upon conducting your Shoot-A-Thon, please chart all of the players’ number of foul shots made out of 100 attempted and log the number of shots made on the Team Summary Results Form. Ask your players to have all of the funds raised to be collected and returned to you in about a week’s time after you conduct your Event.

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)      Collect the funds from each player and log in the fundraising statistics next to each player’s name on the Team Summary Results Form. Next to each player who met the goal of raising a total of $300.00 or more, please fill in their shirt size for their T-Shirt. Fill in your top fundraiser at bottom of form and record the player’s incentive selection. Upon completion of the Team Summary Results Form, validate the numbers and make a check made payable to: GAMES WON – LIVES SAVED for 33% of the total amount raised.

IF YOU COULD ? ? ?

Below  you a choice of how to handle sending in your data. If you, or another coach, someone from your Boosters organization, or even a technology teacher could electronically submit your teams’ summary statistics, it would save a tremendous amount of time, effort and associated costs for the fundraiser. You could do so through the internet, by logging onto the fundraiser web site at: http://www.hoopchamps.com/vfund/teamsumm.html, and fill out the forms for titled "Team Summary Results" and "Patrons Email Addresses". With your help, this can save significant costs such that more of the funds raised could go directly to:

If not, no problem - as Hoop Champs, Inc. will load in the data directly from your forms as soon as we receive them.

TWO CHOICES:

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)      Send the check made payable to GAMES WON – LIVES SAVED in the mail as soon as you can, after all the funds are collected. Then visit the fundraiser’s web site at: http://www.hoopchamps.com/vfund/teamsumm.html    to update both the Team Summary Results Form on-line as well as load in the patrons email addresses from your Player’s Pledge Form at the same web site

OR

ball cropped.gif (2713 bytes)      Send your team’s check made payable to GAMES WON – LIVE SAVED as soon as you can, after all the funds are collected, along with the Team Summary Results Form and the Player Pledge Forms to:
