Hosted by Allegheny College - Nov. 18-19
Allegheny College will host the fifth annual Greg Richards '08 Memorial Classic Nov. 18-19 at the David V. Wise Center.
The two-day, eight-team event is named in honor of Greg Richards, a 2008 Allegheny graduate and four-year men's basketball letterwinner who succumbed to cancer Feb. 21, 2012.
Eight games will be played over the two days, as men's teams from New Paltz, Earlham, and D'Youville will join the Gators, while the Allegheny women will welcome Adrian, Oswego, and Grove City.
Throughout the weekend, donations will be accepted and all ticket proceeds will go to the Meadville Medical Center's Yolanda Barco Oncology Institute, a state-of-the-art facility that provides cutting-edge medical care, as well as physical, psychological, and social support for those afflicted with cancer.
In addition to playing in honor of Greg, this year's Classic will also be dedicated to veteran Allegheny College head volleyball coach
Bridget Sheehan, who was forced to take a leave of absence for the 2016 season in order to battle cancer.
Tickets for the 2016 Greg Richards '08 Memorial Classic are $5 per game for adults and $3 for non-Allegheny students. They can be purchased at the door.
