ELON, N.C. — Elon University head men’s basketball coach Matt Matheny is teaming up with locally-owned SUBWAY® restaurants in the Piedmont Triad in launching a special Coaches vs. Cancer fundraising campaign.

To launch the campaign, coach Matheny will serve as a guest Sandwich Artist at a Subway restaurant during the first week of February. Matheny will be a sandwich artist at the Subway restaurant located on 112 Lebanon Ave. on Elon’s campus on Monday, Feb. 4, from noon until 1 p.m., which is also World Cancer Day.

The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
