Lake Fenton

The Coaches vs. Cancer game is a series of games played between teams from the Flint Metro League and Genesee Area Conference.
The games are played in efforts to raise money for cancer awareness.
Part of the requirement of the game is for the coaches to wear dress clothes with tennis shoes.
