From Michelle at Fanhouse: Has UConn Already Written the Ending?

In her article, this important gem:

The Cal women's basketball program has done an annual fundraiser called "We Assist, You Assist" to benefit a variety of charitable causes. It has run the gamut from benefiting Hurricane Katrina victims, to a local soup kitchen/homeless shelter, to an orphanage in Africa.

This season, Cal's cause is a very personal one. The funds raised will go to the UCSF Foundation in honor of freshman guard Tierra Rogers, who was treated at UCSF after being diagnosed with a heart ailment that has ended her basketball career.

Fans can make contributions based on the number of assists the Bears dish out all season. Cal head coach Joanne Boyle will match funds up to $10,000. More information can be found at calbears.com.
