ROAR, Cancer Foundation Team Up for UA-AU Event
OAR and the Southeast Cancer Foundation hosted the first Alabama and Auburn Team Up Against Cancer Legends Luncheon on Oct. 1 at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse.

University of Alabama legend Jerry Duncan served as the captain for the Crimson Tide. Auburn University’s Mike Kolen and Terry Henley served as the Tigers’ captains. The Bright Star’s Jimmy Koikos and Hot & Hot Fish Club Chef Chris Hastings served as co-chairmen along with ROAR chairmen Barbie Arnold, Yvonne Pope and Pat Starr.
