RICHMOND, Va. – Cancer is a horrible disease that has affected everyone in some fashion. That’s why VCU Athletics has teamed with the Massey Cancer Center and VCU Medical Center to help promote Prostate and Breast Cancer awareness.

"I think it is really cool that our coaches got behind this with such enthusiasm," said Norwood Teague, VCU’s Director of Athletics "We have such a great relationship with the Medical Center and Massey Cancer Center that the more we can do to promote cancer awareness the better.”
