The annual Panthers vs. Cancer event is already off to a strong start. While more numbers will come in soon from Saturday’s events, the Knoxville Cancer Relay donated $23,400 from their fall efforts. The announcement was made during the annual broadcast of Panthers vs. Chariton basketball on 95.3 KNIA. Panthers vs. Cancer included alumni games, activities throughout the day, a silent auction, and more, with all proceeds going toward the Knoxville Hospital and Clinics Foundation and their cancer treatment programs and new infusion center. In the nine years of Panthers vs. Cancer — previously Coaches vs. Cancer, approximately $188,000 has been raised for the American Cancer Society and Knoxville Hospital and Clinics.
