University of Wisconsin-Madison men’s basketball head coach Bo Ryan will donate money to cancer research for every shot made at his Shooting Down Cancer event at the Kohl Center Thursday.
Ryan and his wife will donate $1 for every UW-Madison student who attends, $10 for every free throw made and $1,000 for every half-court shot made. Their goal is to top the $41,279 they raised last year, according to a UW-Madison men’s basketball news release.
Admission is free, and beverages, pizza and other food will be provided courtesy of Fresh Madison Market and Dr. Pepper/Snapple. There will also be chances to win gift cards, autographed items and other prizes, according to the release.
Doors will open at 3 p.m. and the event will go until 7 p.m., at which point Ryan and his wife will present a check containing the final donation amount to Coaches vs. Cancer.
