Save the Date Coaches vs Cancer Night - January 30, 2026

Join us Friday, January 30th as the FHS Girls Basketball Program hosts our annual Coaches vs. Cancer Game in support of the Nick Strong Foundation

Save the Date Coaches vs Cancer Night - January 30, 2026
Save the Date Coaches vs Cancer
Night - January 30, 2026
This night is about more than basketball. It’s about honoring the memory of Nick Gaspar, a former Franklin student athlete and courageous cancer fighter, and coming together to support pediatric cancer research and families battling cancer today.

Let’s pack the gym, stand united, and show what Franklin Athletics is all about.
All proceeds from the night will benefit the Nick Strong Foundation.

Donations will be accepted via cash or Venmo.

Bring your friends, bring your family, and help us make an impact. Together, we can fight cancer, one game, one donation, one community at a time.
