Coaches vs Cancer -- 4th Annual Spokane event hosted by Mark and Marcy Few
Here are some photos of the Coaches vs Cancer fundraising event held August 26 and 27, 2005, in Spokane, Washington. In May, 2005, Gonzaga University Men's Basketball Coach Mark Few and wife Marcy were honored in New York City for their efforts on behalf of "Coaches vs Cancer".
This year's event was blessed with great weather, great atmosphere and an outstanding group of celebrities. In addition to the funds raised through the weekend's golf event and dinner -- special recognition was given to Zags Dan Dickau, Ronny Turiaf and Brian Michaelson. A portion of the proceeds generated from Dickau's mid-summer celebrity classic and the summer Barnstorming event (organized by Turiaf and Michaelson) went to "Coaches vs Cancer".
A tip of the cap to all involved in this event:
Dinner at the Davenport Hotel
