The Bucknell men’s basketball team will travel to Mount St. Mary’s for a special charity exhibition game on Saturday, Oct. 28, in support of Pat Behan, the former Bucknell player and boys’ basketball coach at St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C.
Pat was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and proceeds from the game will go to the Patrick Behan Support Trust to provide financial support for Pat’s care and help him fight this battle. Tip-off for the game will be at 4 p.m., and tickets are now on sale via the Mount St. Mary’s Ticket Office.
“The Bucknell men’s basketball program cares deeply about Pat Behan, and we are committed to doing our part in helping him fight this terrible disease, which also comes with a tremendous financial burden,” said Bucknell head coach John Griffin III. “On a personal note, I was his teammate and roommate at Bucknell. Pat is a special person, and this is a great opportunity for all of us as a community to help him out. Coach Engelstad is also a very close friend of Pat’s, and I want to thank him and the Mount St. Mary’s athletics staff for hosting this special game. We are fortunate that the NCAA allows opportunities to have events such as this to help out a cause, and the fight against ALS is something that is very important to both programs.”
