Gus Macker basketball tournament benefiting IU cancer research

In Indiana, basketball brings us together. This time, it helps beat cancer.

The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is teaming up with Gus Macker to launch a brand-new community tradition: a 3-on-3 basketball tournament benefiting cancer research at IU.

On Oct. 3-4, join survivors, supporters, researchers, clinicians, staff, and basketball fans from across the Midwest at the Pacers Athletic Center in Westfield, Ind., to turn teamwork into breakthroughs against cancer.

From the lab to the clinic to the court, we are changing the game against cancer every day. Now, we’re inviting the community to join us in a whole new way — with sneakers on the gym floor, fans in the stands, and a shared commitment to advancing lifechanging research.

Whether you form a team, fundraise with friends, volunteer, sponsor the event, or cheer from the sidelines, every play helps fuel the future of cancer research at IU.

Let’s show the state that when it comes to beating cancer, IU has the best home-court advantage in the world.

Volunteer: It takes more than players to make this tournament a success; it takes a courtside crew of volunteers. From setup to registration to scorekeeping, more than 100 volunteers will bring this exciting new IU tradition to life. Volunteers must be 18+ and will receive a complimentary shirt. Shifts range from 4-6 hours.
