A Survivor at Every College Stadium: University of South Carolina Gamecocks vs. University of North Carolina Tarheels 

Charlotte, NC. 3 Survivors. 2 Teams. 1 Game. #BorderBattle #BelkKickoff #USCvUNC

MUSC Hollings Cancer Center lung cancer survivor Johns Sanders, UNC Lineberger Cancer Center lung cancer Tomma Hargraves and Presbyterian Novant Health Cancer Center lung cancer survivor Dan Powell represented Team Draft on Thursday Night at Bank of America Stadium. The survivors shared with each other and watched the University of South Carolina Gamecocks defeated the University of North Carolina Tarheels as a part of Team Draft's A Survivor at Every College Stadium. 

In 2012, Team Draft launched our inaugural Survivor at Every Stadium initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer.

Leveraging our connections with the NFL, its teams and players and our relationships with many of the top cancer centers in the country, As part of our National Campaign, this celebration of survivorship raises lung cancer awareness, gives hope to those battling the disease, and shines a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country.

Team Draft's goals are to create a unique experience for participating survivors and to raise awareness on a local, national, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.
