Players who gather pledges will each shoot 50 free-throws at a designated time on Jan. 15 at the high school. In addition, each team in the program will have a home game that weekend, highlighted by a JV and varsity doubleheader against Traip Academy at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

The event raised more than $13,000 last year, and the team’s goal is to top $15,000. More information is available at www.shootinforacure.org.
