A city known for having tough sports teams is now asked to get tough on cancer, as the Inaugural American Cancer Society Coaches vs. Cancer Hoops For Hope Gala looks to raise much-needed funds to fight the disease. Join us on Saturday, May 31, 2008 for the Hoops for Hope Gala, presented by UPMC at the Petersen Events Center, University of Pittsburgh campus.
