QUEENS, N.Y. (Aug. 15, 2022) – The St. John's men's and women's basketball programs will host their 12th annual Dribble for Victory Over Cancer on Saturday, September 24. As part of the event, participants dribble a basketball around campus alongside members of both Red Storm Basketball programs, and are treated to entertainment, refreshments, games, and much more.
Dribble for Victory Over Cancer, formerly known as Dribble for The Cure, is a joint venture between the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) and the V Foundation for Cancer Research to end childhood cancer. All proceeds from the event support the work of Dr. Mitchell Cairo, Chief of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation at New York Medical College.
St. John's Dribble for Victory Over Cancer has raised nearly $1 million for pediatric cancer research since its inception in 2011.
Since its founding in 1982, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation has raised more than $54 million and funded more than 40 research institutions. Thanks in large part to the efforts of the PCRF and like-minded organizations, survival rates from childhood cancers has risen from 10 percent to nearly 85 percent during that same period.
Inspired by its co-founder and namesake, Jim Valvano, the V Foundation has awarded nearly $290 million in cancer research grants since its inception in 1993. 100 percent of donations to the V Foundation go directly to cancer research.
