Coaches vs. Cancer's Suits And Sneakers Week is a nationwide event uniting athletic coaches behind the American Cancer Society's lifesaving mission. During the week, coaches wear sneakers (athletic shoes, runners, tennis shoes) with suits as a reminder of nutrition and physical activity's role in reducing cancer risk.
The Suits and Sneakers for Cancer campaign blends fashion and philanthropy to support cancer awareness and research. This innovative campaign encourages individuals, companies, and organizations to don suits with sneakers as a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about the fight against cancer.
The choice of sneakers with suits is more than a fashion statement; it represents the practical readiness to "get moving" against cancer. It emphasizes the importance of physical activity in reducing cancer risk and improving the health of those undergoing treatment.
Businesses and organizations participate in the campaign, hosting events and fundraisers. These activities foster team spirit and community engagement and contribute significantly to fundraising efforts. The funds raised support cancer research, patient support services, and prevention and early detection programs. The campaign also serves as a platform for cancer survivors and their families to share their stories, providing inspiration and hope.
Though a formal fundraising event in the United States, participation in other nations and regions has increased in previous years with localized campaigns supporting organizations and cancer survivors in each region.
