The Shoot for the Cure campaign has proven an overwhelming success since it was launched in the fall of 2007 with over $1 million in donations. This season, for the sixth year in a row, all 47 U Sports women's basketball schools are set to participate in the program. 

Once again this year, U Sports schools will raise money through regular season games, tournaments and other special events. The first Shoot for the Cure games of 2016-17 are scheduled for Nov. 25 at Victoria – host of the 2017 U Sports Women's Basketball Championship – Mount Royal and Thompson Rivers 

The 2017 U Sports Championship is set for March 9 to 12. 

The fundraising initiative was the brainchild of Rod Gilpin, the long-time bench boss of Bishop's women's program now in his ninth season as head coach of the Gaiters' men.
