Pieces Autographed by NCAA Coaches Auctioned to Fight Cancer

United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS), the official logistics provider of the NCAA, launched ‘Courts for a Cause’ – an ambitious program combining UPS’s logistical strength and a nation of fervent collegiate basketball fans to raise funds to fight cancer during the men’s and women’s NCAA Final Four® Tournaments.

After shipping 132 court pieces to the 68 men’s and 64 women’s NCAA Division I coaches for their autographs, UPS collected and assembled the signed pieces into replicas of both the men’s and women’s Final Four Connor Courts.
