\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tARE YOU SEEING THAT ON YOUR SCREEN? WE\u2019RE A LITTLE MORE THAN NINE DAYS AWAY. THE STAPH DNA CURE BOWL RETURNS TO ORLANDO WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17TH. NEXT WEDNESDAY. THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS AND OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY MONARCHS ARE SET TO FACE OFF IN THE 11TH ANNUAL CONTEST, BUT THE CURE BOWL IS MORE THAN A GAME. IT\u2019S A MISSION TO GET CLOSER TO A CURE FOR CANCER HERE NOW, WITH MORE ON HOW YOU CAN HELP RAISE AWARENESS WHILE CELEBRATING THOSE WHO\u2019VE WON AND ARE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER, WE HAVE MADISON MARINER. GREAT TO SEE YOU, MADISON AND ALAN GOOCH WITH THE ORLANDO SPORTS FOUNDATION. ALAN, GREAT TO HAVE YOU. JASON. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. ALL RIGHT. A BIG TIME HERE. IF SOMEONE DOESN\u2019T KNOW OF THE CURABLE. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FIRST OF ALL? BUT TELL OUR COMMUNITY WHAT THIS IS, THAT THIS IS OUR 11TH YEAR. SO WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? RIGHT. SO THE ORLANDO SPORTS FOUNDATION, WE\u2019RE THE 500 AND 1C3 NONPROFIT THAT PUTS ON THE CURE BOWL. IT\u2019S OUR SIGNATURE EVENT, BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE 15 EVENTS RAISING MONEY FOR CANCER RESEARCH AND 6.35 MILLION HAS BEEN RAISED TO DATE. WAIT, SAY THAT NUMBER ONE MORE TIME. 6.35 MILLION HAS BEEN RAISED TO DATE THROUGH THE PLATFORM OF THE ORLANDO SPORTS FOUNDATION. EVENTS WHICH ARE RACE TO CURE IN OVIEDO, A COUPLE OF GOLF TOURNAMENTS, OUR HIGH SCHOOL ALL STAR EVENTS THAT WE PUT ON. BUT THE SIGNATURE EVENT IS THE CURE BOWL AND YOU GOT TO YOU GOT TO COME OUT. OUR MISSION IS BRINGING TEAMS TOGETHER TO FIND A CURE FOR CANCER. AND THE TWO TEAMS THAT WE\u2019RE HAVING THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE THE SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS VERSUS THE OLD DOMINION MONARCHS. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A GREAT GAME. YEAH, BULLS FANS ARE REALLY PUMPED UP ABOUT THIS. I MEAN, THERE\u2019S A LOT THAT LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, BUT IT\u2019S ONLY 90 MINUTES FROM CAMPUS TO STADIUM. SO WE\u2019RE EXPECTING A BIG CROWD. YES. FROM TAMPA. YEAH. WHAT ABOUT FOR YOU? WHAT IS IT WITH THE TEAMS, THE ATMOSPHERE? WHAT MAKES THE CURE BOWL SO SPECIAL? ABSOLUTELY. SO FOR ME, I IT\u2019S SO SPECIAL TO SEE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER. BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU\u2019RE NOT A FOOTBALL FAN, THE CURE BOWL HAS A TICKET FOR EVERYONE. SO WE HAVE FREE TICKETS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS AND FOR THEIR FAMILIES TO COME OUT AND HONOR THEM. IF SOME PEOPLE WANT TO COME OUT AND HONOR PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE PASSED ON, WE HAVE MEMBERSHIPS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENTERTAIN CORPORATE SPONSORS. WE HAVE THE NEW PINKY\u2019S PARTY SECTION THIS YEAR, SO IF YOU JUST WANT TO COME OUT AND HAVE A GOOD TIME, REGARDLESS OF THE TEAMS WHO ARE IN THE GAME 365 DAYS A YEAR, THE CURE BOWL IS ORLANDO VERSUS CANCER. THAT IS WHAT IT\u2019S ALL ABOUT. AND LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT TACKLING CANCER. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE MILLIONS RAISED AND THERE\u2019S SO MUCH STILL NEEDED IN THAT FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. ABSOLUTELY JASON AND WE APPRECIATE YOU HELPING US TODAY WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, DOCTOR KHALID IS THE FACE OF OUR RESEARCH HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. SHE DOES HER RESEARCH AT THE UCF CANCER RESEARCH CENTER, AND WE, THE ORLANDO SPORTS FOUNDATION, ALL OF US, INCLUDING YOU, ARE THE LARGEST PRIVATE DONOR TO THE CANCER RESEARCH CENTER. SO WHEN YOU COME TO THE CURE BOWL, YOU ARE A PART OF TRYING TO SOLVE CANCER AND DOING IT RIGHT HERE AT UCF. HOW COOL IS THAT? WE\u2019VE GOT SOME KNIGHTS IN THE HOUSE HERE. YEAH, THEY\u2019VE BEEN CELEBRATING THE, YOU KNOW, THAT HOMETOWN LEGACY AND HOW THE BOWL HELPS THAT OUT. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS AS THESE HELMETS ARE EPIC. YEAH I\u2019M GOING TO LET MAD TV TALK ABOUT THAT. WHAT IS THAT MAD TV. MAD TV THAT\u2019S HIS NICKNAME FOR ME. BUT SO LAST YEAR WE\u2019VE STARTED A TRADITION OF CREATING THESE CUSTOM HELMETS FOR THE BULLS. SO THE PLAYERS DON\u2019T ACTUALLY WEAR THESE, BUT IT\u2019S JUST KIND OF A MARKETING PIECE SYMBOLIZING THE GAME EACH YEAR. SO YOU CAN SEE IN THE CENTER STRIPE IT SAYS Z TOP, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH DOCTOR KHALID\u2019S RESEARCH. AND EVERYTHING TIES BACK TO CANCER RESEARCH. SO THIS YEAR WE WANTED TO IMPLEMENT INCLUDING CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS INTO THIS GOLD HELMET. BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE SEE PINK, THEY THINK IT\u2019S JUST BREAST CANCER AWARENESS. BUT WE ACTUALLY RAISE MONEY FOR ALL CANCER RESEARCH. SO IT\u2019S A LITTLE BIT OF A GRAFFITI AND MORE OF AN ABSTRACT ART. THIS YEAR WE GOT WORLD RENOWNED ARTIST CRISTIANO DA COSTA TO HELP US WITH THESE CUSTOM HELMETS. SO THESE ARE AMAZING. I LOVE THE ONE THAT\u2019S ALSO GIVING A LITTLE HOMAGE TO CHILDHOOD CANCER. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. THE WORK IS SO IMPORTANT AND THERE\u2019S SO MUCH INVOLVED BEYOND THE GAME, BUT WE ALSO GET A GREAT GAME. WHERE DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO GO TO TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CURE BOWL? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YOU CAN GO TO CURE.COM TICKETS TO SEE ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT TICKET OPTIONS. YOU CAN GET PARKING AND EVERYTHING THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT MADISON ALLEN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY. THANK YOU JASON, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. WE CAN\u2019T WAIT TO SEE THAT NUMBER. TOP OVER 7 MILLION AND BEYOND AND BEYOND. AND AND YOU KNOW I LOVE THAT WE HAVE THIS GAME. BUT WE DON\u2019T NEED IT FOR A CURE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HELP. SO WE BATTLE CANCER AND END IT. YEAH WE ARE. YEAH. THANK YOU JASON. THANK YOU SO MUCH MADISON ALLEN. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. WE\u2019VE GOT MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU DON\u2019T WANT TO SLEEP ON THIS. THE CU\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
