This past Friday, the 29th, our Marion Boy’s Basketball team held a “Coaches vs. Cancer” fundraiser that raised $1,442. They donated this money to the Iowa American Cancer Society. They raised this money by holding a silent auction. During this auction donators brought in items from home to help this cause. Some of these items included a Joe Namath jersey, an Iowa Hawkeye football, a sewn Marion blanket, and lasagna dinner.

Another event that helped raised money was a Paper Airplane Contest. This all was held during the Marion vs. Waterloo Columbus home game. “I feel like a better person because I contributed to this great cause, and I am glad I could help,” comments sophomore Jared Huhndorf, “ I’m glad I could help such a great cause. It was a fun way to help out, and I feel like such a better person for contributing,” says senior Hunter Sade. The donations were made by: the Marion Coaching Staff, Committee Members, Volunteers, Community Members, and Contributing Businesses. A thanks was made to all who helped this cause and made donations.
