Falcons Fighting Cancer

The girls’ basketball team at Louisa-Muscatine High School kept busy last season. On top of keeping a winning record, they chose to hold a fundraiser to benefit Children’s Cancer Connection.

On Dec. 18, 2009, the girls’ team competed against Columbus Junction in a basketball game, but the real event was “Falcons Fighting Cancer.” They sold over 300 t-shirts prior to the game, totaling over $2,600, which was donated to Children’s Cancer Connection.

Head Coach Nate Sanderson said the girls’ collectively chose Children’s Cancer Connection because it benefits those with cancer from across the state of Iowa.

The event was organized by the 2009-10 girls’ basketball team with the support of Tanya Fordyce, Louisa-Muscatine Booster Club Treasurer.
