Proceeds of Dick Vitale's New Book to Benefit Pediatric Cancer Research

"I absolutely pinch myself when I reflect back on memories of growing up as a young man chasing my dreams. My life has surpassed any dream I ever had," said Vitale. "And now my goal is to give back, raising dollars for kids battling cancer."

Written by Vitale with longtime sports columnist Dick Weiss as well as writer and editor Joan Williamson, "It's Awesome Baby!" offers private insight on everything from his coaching experience at Rutgers University and the Detroit Pistons to his 35 years as the voice of college basketball at ESPN. The hardback book also contains never-before-seen photos as well as his thoughts on basketball today.
