No. 12 Football to Take Part in Coach to Cure MD on Saturday

No. 12 Widener is proud to take part in Coach to Cure MD during its home contest Saturday against Albright.

Coach to Cure MD is a nationwide project designed to build awareness about Muscular Dystrophy and raise money to support researchers trying to find a treatment and cure. The day is part of a corporation between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest non-profit organization in the United States focused entirely on Muscular Dystrophy.

Coach Isaac Collins and his staff will show their support for the cause by wearing Coach to Cure MD patches during the game, which begins at 1:00 pm.
