The McGraw Lady Eagles played their “Spike out Cancer game” against DeRuyter Thursday night, where they raised over $1,100 dollars for the American Cancer Society.
“Our goal was $1,000 dollars, but with the team working hard and the amazing support of our parents and community we crushed our goal,” said McGraw head coach Jessyca Doran. “The money raised will be used to help those with cancer and help with food, lodging, and ECT (Electrochemotherapy) that they endure during that awful time.”
