Goff labeled the event as a success. "I was very appreciative of the support we received from our institutions and their fans for our community service project," Goff noted. "Several staff members or their family members at Horizon League institutions have been diagnosed with breast cancer so the timing for us to work to support cancer research was now. We chose our women's basketball tournament for the community service project as it is our largest women's League championship in regards to fan attendance and we wanted to reach out to as many people as possible."
"Susan G. Komen For The Cure" is the world's largest network of breast cancer survivors and activists. The organization has invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill their goal of becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
