Vote online for UConn’s Head Coach Kevin Ollie, who is competing against 47 rival men’s basketball coaches in the annual NCAA Coaches’ Charity Challenge.
Voting has already opened and fans may vote for their favorite coach every day through mid-March, so bookmark the page and set yourself a reminder.
At stake is a $100,000 donation to his charity of choice – The Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at UConn Health.
Just like the teams in the NCAA tournament, the UConn coach and his competitors aim to advance through various rounds of the Challenge. But instead of baskets, it’s online votes from fans that will help Ollie advance.
The Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at UConn Health is close to the Husky head coach’s heart because his mother, Dorothy Ollie, was successfully treated there for cancer in 2014. Thanks to the excellent care she received, Dorothy was able to attend the 2014 NCAA Championship game to support her son, and continues to cheer on the Huskies whenever they play. Most recently she attended the match-up against Texas last week.

The winner of the competition will be announced March 13.
