A big turnout is requested at Emporia State’s basketball doubleheader with Pittsburg State on Wednesday.
Emporia State’s Athletics Department is teaming with Central Care Cancer Center to hold Hoops for Hope, a general awareness effort for all kinds of cancer and a fundraiser for the June Bug Foundation. On KVOE’s Talk of Emporia on Monday, Central Care Cancer Center Director of Marketing LeAnn Powers said the June Bug Foundation addresses a vital niche for cancer patients and their families.
ESU Associate Athletics Director for External Operations Brett McLaughlin says the Athletics Department is glad to be involved.
