SUMMARY:Gus Macker basketball tournament benefiting IU cancer research
DESCRIPTION:In Indiana\, basketball brings us together. This time\, it helps beat cancer.\nThe 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. \nOn 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. \nFrom the lab to the clinic to the court\, we are changing the game against cancer every day.
