2023 Costello Classic

East Syracuse Minoa DECA Presents:

“2023 Costello Classic” Basketball Games to Benefit V Foundation.
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! I am excited to support the V Foundation for Cancer Research, an organization committed to declaring Victory Over Cancer®.  The "2023 Costello Classic" will be held on Saturday, December 16th in the ESM High School Gymnasium starting at 6:00 PM.  The 1st game will feature a student vs. staff game at 6:00 PM.  The 2nd game, which features ESM alumni, will tip-off at 7:30 PM.  Larry Costello is an ESM Alum and a member of The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.  All proceeds from this event will be donated to the V Foundation in memory of Larry Costello.

The mission of the V Foundation is to fund game-changing research and all-star scientists to accelerate Victory Over Cancer® and save lives. The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded by ESPN and legendary basketball coach JIM VALVANO with one goal in mind: to achieve Victory Over Cancer®. Thanks to an endowment funded by generous donors, 100% of direct donations benefit cancer research and programs. This means that NOT ONE SINGLE CENT of your donation goes to operating expenses.  Will you join us in the fight against cancer by donating today?

ESM DECA, Costello Family, & V Foundation would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your support.
We are working together with one goal in mind: to achieve Victory Over Cancer®.
