The countdown is on for Knoxville’s Coaches vs Cancer event this Saturday. This has been the largest Coaches vs Cancer event in the Midwest in recent years, with more than 40,000 dollars raised for cancer research last year alone. Jerri Uitermarkt tells KNIA/KRLS that they will have their largest silent auction ever this year. The event starts at noon with alumni games. It runs through the evening with a variety of other events, culminating with the basketball games against Chariton Saturday night.
