SAN RAFAEL, CA — A nonprofit will host their annual basketball fundraiser Saturday in San Rafael where participants can shoot free throws to win prizes.
There was an event also scheduled for the same time in Santa Rosa but that event was canceled, organizers announced Thursday evening.
In 2024, 10,000 Degrees hosted its first "Hoop For Change" event where they raised $40,000 for low-income students and the North Bay Basketball Academy.
