Coulee VS Cancer

Coulee VS Cancer
Luther Coach Schaper and Coach Sonnentag

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!
