The Girls and Boys Basketball teams would like to invite you to celebrate with us on a special GOLDEN NIGHT on January 28! That evening, while the Braves battle the Trojans of Chatard High School, we would like to take the evening to celebrate all those individuals we know and love who are or have previously battled cancer as part of our Cancer Awareness Night.
As part of our evening, we invite all our fans to wear gold to the game. To show their support, the basketball teams will be wearing special yellow warm-up shirts and shoelaces to remember the survivors and victims of pediatric cancer. In addition to this, the basketball teams would like to recognize any Brebeuf students who may be battling cancer or who are themselves survivors of cancer. If you would like to be a part of this celebration, please reach out to Sam Glowinski at SGlowinski@brebeuf.org.

Finally, we invite all fans in attendance to fill out a special sign that will be available at the doors to honor all those we know who have battled cancer.
