In memory of their grandmother who passed away from lung cancer, Sophie Zirkin and her sister Emma, both local basketball players from Baltimore, MD decided to fundraise and spread awareness for lung cancer research by shooting 10K 3-pointers around the DMV as a way to combine their passion for basketball with this important cause. During their stop at Capital One Arena they were surprised by Washington Mystics alumni, Elena Delle Donne.
