Oakland University is urging students and staff to attend the men’s basketball home opener on Wednesday, Nov. 19, to cheer for the Golden Grizzlies while supporting cancer research. The game will double as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, and all attendees are encouraged to purchase a $3 button, with the Grizz bear logo and the words “Beat Cancer” surrounding it. Proceeds from the sales will go to the ACS. The men’s basketball team has long supported cancer research, holding fundraisers in the past for the ACS at BD’s Mongolian Barbecue in Auburn Hills. Next week’s event, however, hits a little closer to home. One of the Oakland player’s relatives was diagnosed with cancer during the summer. Lathrisha L. Mitchell, mother of Golden Grizzly junior forward Tommie McCune, died June 2.
