FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SOUTH EASTON, Mass - A number of Northeast-10 Conference women's (and now men's) basketball programs and coaches have gotten involved with the online movement 'Chillin4Charity' -
The Cold Water Challenge was started by Arizona women's basketball coach Niya Butts as a fundraiser for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Once challenged, each coach or player has 48 hours to respond. Any head coach that chooses not to participate owes $250 to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
If the coach does participate in the challenge, the original challenger will donate $50 to the foundation. Assistant coaches also raise money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund with their participation, while student-athletes will give back through community service.
