Gold jerseys, gold shoelaces, and hearts of gold, the Chestnut Hill College women's and men's basketball teams will don all three as they take on the Lions of Georgian Court University in respective 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. CACC contests on Wednesday, December 2.

Through firsthand experiences with pediatric cancer and an extensive medical background, Go4theGoal provides the best practices to patients, their families, hospitals, and staffs that care for them. Go4theGoal was founded in 2006, weeks after Richard Stefanacci was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. After a yearlong battle, Richard lost his fight with cancer just a few months shy of his 15^th birthday. Though Richard lost his battle, Go4theGoal's dedication to their mission remained and was only strengthened when his cousin Blake was diagnosed with another rare cancer, Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, on March 11, 2010. Blake bravely fought her cancer and is now a four-year survivor enjoying all the normal thrills of being a teenage girl!
