DETROIT (AP) John Calipari, Tom Izzo and John Beilein are part of an impressive roster of coaches who will be participating in a round of golf at Oakland Hills Country Club on June 1 to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Oakland University coach Greg Kampe is organizing the event, which also will include Roy Williams, Sean Miller, Steve Alford, Rick Barnes, Bob Huggins and Josh Pastner.

An online auction began Monday at coachesbeatcancer.org - winning bidders will participate in a two-day event in the Detroit area May 31-June 1. They'll have a chance to attend a private dinner May 31 with all 10 coaches. Then each winner will be able to play a round of golf the next day at Oakland Hills with the coach he or she bid on.
