NORMAL --
The William F. Brady "Day of the Dozer" is a special charity event
for Illinois State men's basketball coach Porter Moser, considering
that he is the son of a land developer.

But it is also an event that
raises money for cancer research and a chance for Moser and the
Redbirds to lend a helping hand in the community. Team members will
volunteer their time on Saturday at the Interstate Center in
Bloomington where the Day of the Dozer event takes place.
The event allows kids and their
families to see and ride heavy construction equipment, such as dump
trucks, earthmovers and bulldozers. All proceeds for the event go to
benefit the Community Cancer Center and the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation, McLean County Affiliate.
The men's basketball program
has also been an active member of many other campus and community
activities, such as Festival ISU and Corn Fest. Moser believes that
it is important to always be giving back to those that support the
program.

"Since I've been here, it's
been very important to me to give back to the community," Moser
said. "Day of the Dozer is such a great event that supports a great
cause. Our guys will be out there interacting with the kids and
their families.
"I'm glad our guys are out
there interacting with people and being part of this community,"
Moser continued. "That's very important to me."
The
Redbirds will open the regular season on Nov. 14 against Penn State
in Milwaukee, Wis., at the Bradley Center with the Black Coaches
Association Classic.
