Lincoln – As part of the National Association of Basketball Coaches Suits and Sneakers Awareness Week, the Nebraska men’s basketball program is having its third-annual #AveryStrong game and Bone Marrow Donor Drive on Saturday, Jan. 23.
Several activities are taking place to help fight cancer and support Avery Harriman, the 8-year-old son of former NU assistant coach Chris Harriman and his wife Cheryl. Avery has been battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia since he was 2-years old.
To honor the fight that Avery has gone through, the first 500 students at Saturday’s game will receive an #AveryStrong shirt provided by Husker IMG Sports Marketing, turning the Red Zone gold on Saturday.
