Episode #32 - Charlie Freitag & Coaches vs. Cancer

For this episode Matt spent time on a topic that is close to his
heart and also highlighted a person and program that is doing
great things in the community.  A little over 4 years ago he
lost his father to cancer, following that loss he wanted to get
involved in some way to help fight this disease.  He is now
a member of the National High School Coaches vs. Cancer Council
and is working with high school basketball programs to help them
raise money through Coaches vs. Cancer events to help support the
American Cancer Society.  

One person and community who is also involved in those efforts is
Charlie Freitag and the St. Clair boys basketball program. 
Charlie is also a member of the National High School CvC council
and his team puts on a an amazing fundraising event each
year.  Charlie and Matt share their own personal stories on
how cancer has affected them and why they are involved in this
cause.  Charlie's small town of just over 800 people raises
more than $20,000 almost every year for their Coaches vs. Cancer
event.  They put themselves in the top 5 programs in the
country for their efforts and will cross over the $200,000 mark
for money raised this year.  It really is unbelievable what
they do and have put together in that small town.  Hear how
their community supports this cause and what makes it a special
event.
