AUTLIVE

This week's Talking Tigers Podcast features Dan Heck, Auburn's Director of Athletics Marketing, speaking with Andy Burcham.  AUTLIVE began in 2009 at the University of Tennessee player when Chris Lofton developed testicular cancer. Through early detection and treatment, he beat the disease. This year's AUTLIVE game will take place on Feb. 2 vs. Alabama at 7 p.m.
 
 

What is AUTLIVE?The Bruce Pearl Family Foundation is once again continuing the fight against cancer with AUTLIVE, Auburn basketball's fight against cancer. The best way to beat cancer is to detect it early and be able to fight it on your home court.

AUTLIVE raises the awareness of cancer prevention and detection while t-shirt sales and donations raise money to benefit cancer patients and their local hospital. Proceeds benefit cancer patients and treatment centers at these locations: Coosa Valley, East Alabama Medical Center, Russell Medical Center, Children's of Alabama, Montgomery Cancer Center, Smile-A-Mile and the L5 Foundation in Knoxville, Tenn. Pearl and his coaching staff initiated the OUTLIVE program in 2009 at Tennessee in recognition of former Vol Chris Lofton, who beat testicular cancer through early diagnosis and local treatment. He went on to play the entire 2007-08 season while battling the disease.
