A Survivor at Every College Stadium: University of Colorado Buffaloes
October 04, 2014
Boulder, CO. Lung cancer survivors Michael Moore and Ben Carlsen, and Dr. Akrum Al-Zubaidi will be special guests at the University of Colorado game on Saturday. The game between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Oregon State University Beavers will kickoff Team Draft's A Survivor at Every College Stadium.
Team Draft's goals are to create a unique experience for participating survivors and to raise awareness on a local, national, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.
Leveraging our connections with the NCAA, its teams and players and our relationships with many of the top cancer centers in the country, we are arranging to have lung cancer survivors attend games at NCAA stadiums across the country during the last two months of the 2014 season.
As part of our National Campaign, this celebration of survivorship raises lung cancer awareness, gives hope to those battling the disease, and shines a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country.
Special thanks to CU Coach Kent Baer, University of Colorado Football, Covidien, and the University of Colorado Cancer Center for helping make this experience possible.
