Annual Free-Throw Fundraiser

Our annual Free Throw Fundraiser (freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity) takes place this Saturday, February 7, 2009 at WA from 1:00-3:00pm in the main gym. Each player gets pledges and will shoot 100 Free Throws. In the past we've had alumni who either wanted to participate or pledge support to someone on the team. Let me know if you are interested!
