CHICAGO (November 16, 2020) – Loyola University Chicago's Porter Moser is among 100 college basketball coaches and national celebrities that have joined forces during the global pandemic to assist Coaches vs. Cancer in raising funds to fight cancer. The Coaches vs. Cancer "Member for a Day" Golf Auction, presented by MGM Resorts International, will be a virtual auction that tips off Wednesday, November 18 and concludes on "Black Friday," November 27.

"We are excited to collaborate with our longtime partner bdG Sports along with Member for A Day and MG Resorts International to raise funds through such a one-of-a-kind program," said Howard Byck, senior vice president at the American Cancer Society.
