Huggins advances into third round of Coaches' Charity Challenge

WVU Men’s Basketball Coach Bob Huggins has advanced to the third round in the Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge.

To help him move into the Final Four of the competition, fans can continue voting daily at www.espn.com/infiniti. Final Four voting ends at 11:59 a.m. Sunday, March 1. Huggins is trying to win $100,000 for the Norma Mae Huggins Cancer Research Endowment at the WVU Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.

The Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge, sponsored by luxury automobile manufacturer Infiniti, in partnership with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the NCAA and ESPN, benefits the coaches’ favorite charities. The 10-week contest ends at 11:59 a.m. Sunday, March 15.  

If Huggins wins the Challenge, the prize money will go to the Norma Mae Huggins Cancer Research Endowment Fund, which he established in memory of his mother who died in 2003 following a long battle with colon cancer. In keeping with Coach Huggins’ wishes, this fund supports clinical research, specifically providing access to cancer clinical trials for all West Virginians.
