George Karl takes cancer message to fundraiser in Spokane
By Aaron J. Lopez, Nuggets.com, 8-26-11
Nuggets coach George Karl will be the first to admit that his fashion sense is more faux pas than je ne sais quoi. He prefers shorts and golf shorts over dress shoes and designer ties, and he often jokes that his clothing choice for the day is determined by what's on top of the hamper. When it comes to assisting in the fight against cancer, Karl will meet even the strictest of dress codes. Karl, who has survived head and neck cancer and prostate cancer in the past six years, will don a tuxedo this weekend when he serves as the guest speaker at a Coaches vs. Cancer fundraiser in Spokane, Wash. It is the 10th year of the event founded by Gonzaga men's basketball coach Mark Few and his wife Marcy.
