The second Huggins Homecoming in Cincinnati raised more than $72,500 to benefit cancer care and research at the WVU Cancer Institute. West Virginia University Men’s Basketball Coach Bob Huggins called Cincinnati home during his tenure at the University of Cincinnati from 1989 to 2005. He returned June 6 for Huggins Homecoming, an intimate dinner event at Ohio’s original Montgomery Inn. Emceed by longtime Cincinnati sports anchor Dennis Janson, the dinner festivities included an auction, special presentations, and Coach’s one-of-a-kind commentary. He welcomed special guests, including Rob Summers, a former WVU standout who was recently named associate head coach at Ohio’s Miami University, and Darin Rogers, vice president and chief ambulatory operations officer for WVU Medicine. “I would like to thank Pete, Linda, and all my friends in the Cincinnati area for helping make this event a success,” Huggins said. “Being able to take our fundraising efforts on the road shows the overall commitment to fighting this terrible disease.”
