Join us for our 18th Annual Coaches vs. Cancer Charity Golf Classic, presented by Iowa PGA Section on Monday, August 18, 2025 on the beautiful grounds of Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa! This year’s event will bring together our state’s four Division I men’s basketball programs (Drake University, Iowa State University, University of Iowa, and University of Northern Iowa) as they join one team in the fight against cancer with business and community leaders, cancer survivors, caregivers and those passionate about fighting cancer.
The American Cancer Society provides information and resources to help patients and their loved ones manage through cancer treatment and recovery, and to help with the emotional support they need. They also work to remove barriers that stand between the patient and lifesaving treatment. For many patients with cancer, transportation challenges can create barriers to receive the treatment they need. Many people need daily or weekly treatment, often for several months. Family and friends may help, but they may not always have the time or resources to provide every ride. The American Cancer Society is proud to provide transportation assistance to those in need, by giving free rides to cancer-related medical appointments.
In 2022 alone, the American Cancer Society provided more than 323,000 rides to more than 35,000 patients in need through transportation programs.
