The initiative is led by student Danielle Bixby, a two-time childhood cancer survivor, in recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Volleyball players will host North Eugene on September 8, while the football team hosts Summit on September 11. Organizers are placing collection bins at both venues for donations to Doernbecher Children's Hospital and Randall Children's Hospital.
