Bo Ryan has been named the 2013 recipient of the Coaches vs. Cancer Champion Award. As the press release highlights, the award is given annually to "to a college coach who has been significantly engaged in the program’s fundraising, education and promotional initiatives and who has demonstrated leadership in supporting the American Cancer Society’s fight to save lives from cancer." Ryan has raised over $1.5 million since joining Coaches vs. Cancer in 2007, and along with his wife, Kelly, earlier this year, he raised $42,000 at the Charity Stripe Challenge where UW students were encouraged to "Make Bo Pay." Ryan received the award on Saturday during the National Coaches vs. Cancer Council Meeting in Atlanta, the host city for this year's Final Four.
