The March of Dimes is pleased to announce a very special one-time fundraising event taking place in Columbia on Saturday, February 16th at Safran’s Antiques located at 1015 Whaley Street in Columbia.
John Roche, USC Gamecock marvel, who played basketball during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s under legendary Hall of Fame coach Frank McGuire, has agreed to participate in an autograph signing event to benefit the March of Dimes. His appearance is in conjunction with the 100th anniversary celebration of Carolina basketball.
