AMES — A dominant victory for the Cyclones raised awareness for their case of being one of the best teams in the country and also for cancer awareness. The movement is an opportunity to raise awareness, funds and advocacy in the fight against cancer. Since its inception in 1993, the campaign has raised over $179 million for the American Cancer Society. The event eventually grew into what we know today as Coaches vs. Cancer. “Whether you host a fundraiser, plan a Suits And Sneakers Week game, or simply offer encouragement to a friend facing the disease, you play a critical role in advancing the lifesaving work of Coaches vs. Cancer,” Craig Robinson, executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, said.

However, like Variety's purported review of "Melania," no review of "Snow White" including this line appeared on the website.

Iowa State University has over 800 student organizations on campus, and until the beginning of the 2025-26 academic year, it was free for organizations to reserve rooms in advance through Rec Services. Rec Services is a department within Student Health and Wellness that includes State Gym, Lied Recreation Center, Beyer Hall and outdoor fields. Addressing the problem at the root, Kammeyer also met with Rec Services in early January to find a path forward that would reduce booking problems Rec Services was facing previously, but also alleviate financial pressure from organizations. Student Government proposed that a bulk discount be applied to organizations that reserve rooms for an entire semester or year. After speaking with Rec Services, however, Orchesis II was able to avoid paying for the rooms by not reserving the spaces in advance.

They are law enforcement, so for me personally, I would rather work with law enforcement than against. Renee Good was receiving multiple commands from multiple ICE agents at the time she was shot. I would like to know at what point ― after Alex was disarmed ― the ICE agents believed their lives were still in danger?
