The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and UCLA have teamed up to launch the 19th annual Dribble for Victory Over Cancer. Every dribble helps put an end to childhood cancer.
The University of California, Los Angeles Athletic Department and Bruin Basketball are excited to Dribble for the 19th year in support of lifesaving research at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital.

Individuals, families, clubs, and teams will have the opportunity to meet college basketball players, coaches, and alumni while giving kids and their families battling cancer a chance for a brighter tomorrow.
