SAN MARCOS \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0Gate proceeds from Palomar College\u2019s Pacific Coast Athletic Conference men\u2019s\/women\u2019s basketball double-header at The Dome on Friday, Feb. 10 will be donated to the American Cancer Society. The special fundraiser is part of a joint statewide effort initiated by the California Community College Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Basketball Coaches Associations.<\/p>\n

Opening the event will be the Comet men\u2019s team versus San Diego Miramar at 5:00 p.m., followed by the PCAC Northern Division-leading and No. 4-state ranked women\u2019s team versus San Diego Mesa at 7:00 p.m. For both teams, the games are crucial as the 2016-17 California Community College regular season winds down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Palomar College Athletic Program is pleased and proud to participate in this worthy effort,\u201d said Director of Athletics Scott Cathcart. \u201cOnce again, it presents our teams and student athletes with an opportunity to combine the entertainment value of intercollegiate athletics with a meaningful community-service campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collective funds from similar events throughout the state will provide for a combined donation from the California Community College Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Basketball Coaches Associations, which will be presented to representatives of the American Cancer Society at the state championship games, scheduled for Sunday, March 12 at Las Positas College in Livermore. Since its inception in 2010, the annual California Community Colleges effort has generated nearly $175,000 in donated revenue toward cancer research.<\/p>\n
