On February 10, Triton school will be hosting "Shooting for a Cure". This organization is all about coming together as a community to raise money for cancer research, and supporting those who are going through cancer treatment, and their families. We all have been touched by someone who has or has had cancer, and it is easy to say it's not an easy challenge to navigate. By attending Shooting for a Cure, you will be able to help those who need support, not only financially but also emotionally, as those involved see the changes that can be affected as we come together to help each other in times of crisis.
There will be 4 girls basketball games, 7th, 8th, JV and Varsity, and a 50/50 raffle at half time of each game.
"Our goal is to raise $5K to help support organizations in our area, such as Brighter Tomorrows, a group of volunteers who help families to adjust to the circumstances they experience when their child is diagnosed with cancer, The Cure Starts Now, Mayo Pediatric Cancer Research, and Sandra J. Schultze Hope Lodge." explains Keri Ginder, one of the sponsors of the event. " This is in line with what we have raised in previous years because of our giving community and their generous donations, both monetary and with gift baskets for the raffle." There will also be a silent auction, which will close at 3:30pm
If anyone would like to contribute by donating a basket or item for the raffle they can contact Keri at kerijo77@gmail.com or Amy at afreiderich@yahoo.com Or if you would like to make cash donations checks can be made payable to

The holidays may have passed, but the spirit of giving to those less fortunate remains, and this is a fun way to get the family out and teach our children that it takes a village to accomplish unselfish deeds and to help others get through one of the toughest things they will ever face.
Please join us in this special evening and ask questions, volunteer, donate, or just watch the fun! Let's get out there and show them what the Cobras and their neighbors can accomplish! Hope to see you there!
