FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim is a participant in the “Infiniti Coaches Charity Challenge,” and is vying for the right to donate the grand prize of $100,000 to the foundation of his choosing (The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation).
As part of its ongoing corporate partnership with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the NCAA and ESPN, Infiniti is in its second year of the Coaches Charity Challenge and has expanded its field from 14 to 48 coaches in year two.
Cast your vote for Coach Boeheim so he can forge ahead in the 48-coach bracket. Fan participation will determine the ultimate winner over an eight-week period beginning January 18th by registering and voting on a custom microsite on www.ESPN.com/Infiniti . For the first six weeks, four brackets of 12 coaches will be paired against each other, with the winners from each group moving onto the next round in week seven and the final round in week eight. Fans can vote for up to four coaches per day. The winning coach will be announced March 9, 2012.
The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation strives to enrich the lives of kids in need within the Central New York Community, as well as provide support for the eliminating cancer through research and advocacy.

"It allows us to bring awareness to the outstanding community efforts of these respected coaches, and hopefully inspire fans to learn and give more to each charity on their own."
