In what has been a tradition in the early fall for UCLA Basketball, the Dribble for Victory over Cancer event is coming right up. The date was announced for Sunday, October 6th, 2024.
The event will take place at Drake Stadium on the campus of UCLA. Both the men’s and women’s teams will take part in the event. The efforts of fundraising for the event will go to PCRF and the research at UCLA Children’s Hospital.
Last year they raised over 150,000. You can find more about the event and the activities that took place last season right here:

Danielle Fragalla, the CEO of PCRF was asked about teaming with the UCLA men’s and women’s teams:
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation is proud to partner with the UCLA men’s and women’s basketball teams for the 17th straight year, raising money and awareness for children battling cancer. Over this 17-year span, UCLA’s athletic department has helped us raise close to $2 million. With the funds raised at UCLA, we have been able to support innovative research where there was not treatment.
