AUTLIVE Game

The Bruce Pearl Family Foundation is continuing the fight against cancer with the eighth year of AUTLIVE, Auburn Basketball’s fight against cancer. The best way to beat cancer is to detect it early and be able to fight it on your home court. Visit AUTLIVE.com for more information or to donate to the cause.

AUTLIVE raises awareness of cancer prevention and detection while T-shirt sales and donations raise money to benefit cancer patients and their local hospitals. Pearl and his coaching staff initiated the OUTLIVE program in 2009 at Tennessee in recognition of former Vol Chris Lofton, who beat testicular cancer through early diagnosis and local treatment. He went on to play the entire 2007-08 season while battling the disease.

For the third year, prostate cancer screenings will take place on the concourse of Neville Arena before and during the game for men, who wish to be tested.

Both teams and game officials will hold up placards before tipoff in memory of loved ones, friends, and colleagues, who are still fighting or have lost their battle with cancer.
