NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Notre Dame's men's basketball Coach Mike Brey used his sport to help raise awareness about heart disease. Coach Brey hosted the 2nd Annual Tip-Off for Heart event Wednesday.



It was held on campus at Purcell Pavilion.



The men who attended were split into different teams and practiced drills. They also learned about nutrition and heart disease risk factors.



"I just think this is a neat thing we got going. It has become very popular and the guys love to get out on the court and play some hoops," said Coach Brey.



Heart disease is the number one killer in America.
