HUNTINGTON — Marshall University is participating in the inaugural “Love College Hoops….Beat Cancer Week,” a fan-driven initiative created to support the fight against cancer.

Through Sunday, Feb. 28, college basketball fans around the country are encouraged to support cancer awareness by wearing headbands to their respective home basketball games. Thundering Herd fans are encouraged to wear headbands Saturday, Feb. 27, for Marshall’s 7 p.m. game against Central Florida at Cam Henderson Center.

The official school-specific headband for “Love College Hoops….Beat Cancer Week” will be made available to retailers by collegiate headwear licensee Top of the World, with a percentage of proceeds being contributed to the American Cancer Society in connection with the Coaches vs. Cancer program. The headbands are available for $5 in the Marshall Bookstore.
