During the week of February 14th, the Arcadia boys basketball team joined up with the Onalaska Luther boys basketball team in a week-long fundraiser to help those affected by cancer. Together, the two schools competed in a coin war, sold t-shirts, and had a miracle minute at halftime of the Varsity game on Friday, February 18. Together, the teams raised $8,660 to give to the American Cancer Society and the David Chase Fund. David Chase is a freshman student at Onalaska Luther who is battling a rare form of brain cancer.
Pictured above is Luther Coach Schaper and Coach Sonnentag who put a friendly wager that the school who raised the most money in the coin war during the Coulee vs. Cancer week would make the opposing coach wear a shirt of their choosing for warm-ups of our game.
A special thank-you needs to be given to Ashley Furniture and Kwik Trip for the donation of our t-shirts. Their generous contributions allowed for this night to be truly special!
