Cheerleader's Fundraiser a Slam Dunk for Food Bank

The cheerleader’s recent fundraiser for the Lacey Food Bank was a slam dunk.

The winter basketball cheerleaders held a fundraiser called Mr. Slamdunk. Each cheerleader designed their own t-shirt, dedicated to a different player on the basketball team, and shook cans in school.

Senior Samantha Weigand raised the most money, winning a gift card for her and senior Tyler Smith, the basketball player she fundraised for.

“We donated $300 to our local food bank because we wanted to support a charity in our community,” Coach Aimee Del Vento said. “I am beyond proud of my team this year and I hope they have learned a life lesson that giving is more rewarding than receiving.”
