It appears as if all systems are go for the "Plays for a Cure" event tonight at Branford High.

UConn coach Geno Auriemma is expected to be in the house, as advertised, for the fundraiser with proceeds being split between Geno's Cancer Team, Leukemia Society and the Debbie Maloney Memorial.

There will be four basketball games, each between 15-20 minutes featuring squads of teachers and students from Branford public schools, a team of Channel 8 on-air personalities (John Pierson, Noah Finz and Marc Robbins from the sports department along with Keith Kountz and Chris Velardi). There will also be a game between Branford's firefighters and police.

The event runs from 7-9 p.m. with tickets for the event $5 for adults and $3 for students.
