Tennessee women's basketball assistant coach Holly Warlick and former assistant turned UCLA head coach Nikki Caldwell are hittin' the road.

Warlick and Caldwell, who both played at Tennessee and have spent a combined 27 seasons at coach Pat Summitt's side embark today on their second weeklong "Cruisin' for a Cause" ride to raise money for breast cancer programs.

The pair rode cross-country last year from Knoxville to Berkeley, Calif., raising more than $50,000 along the way. That money went to various causes, including Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

They held events at every stop where they joined fans and breast cancer survivors to celebrate.

Both wanted to raise awareness for breast cancer. Warlick's grandmother had the disease and a friend of Caldwell's passed away from complications in 2001.

Some of the proceeds of the 2007 trip went to the brand-new Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund in honor of the N.C. State coach, a breast cancer survivor.

"Kay's been a huge icon in women's basketball," Warlick said. "We thought that was a kind of no-brainer to donate to her."
