WGAN has teamed up with Town & Country Federal Credit Union for the 27th annual C-U Swish-Out Childhood Cancer Challenge.

Tournament starts Monday, April 12th and ends on Saturday, May 8th.

This year’s event will be a 3-on-3 ‘virtual’ foul shot competition. Teams of 3 (must have one member of the opposite sex) will compete. Beginning April 12th, each participant will attempt 50 free throws (per week as long as the team remains in the competition) and the combined total of all 3 participants will be submitted by each Sunday at 5 p.m. The 25% of teams with the lowest overall total will be eliminated each week (percentage based on final number of teams participating).
