Clubs sponsor boys varsity basketball to raise money for Haiti
Despite a close loss to the Cupertino Pioneers on Feb. 12, the boys varsity basketball team won $1175 in donations for Haiti, placing the One Dollar For Life Haiti fundraiser that much closer to its $2600 goal.
The prices, set according to the estimated shooting averages of the team, were agreed on by Bull Spirit officers, a few students from ASB Leadership and a current player: $10 for a regular basket, $15 for every free throw, $25 for every three-pointer, and $50 for any dunk.
"We hope to make over [$1000] for this event, and it’s so great that no matter how things end up turning out, the clubs are willing to donate a certain amount of money," Bull Spirit president junior Lucia Lin said at the game.
"It wouldn’t matter if it was just $10 because that would be $10 that could make a difference. We have to look at things positively. It is not based upon the quantity that was raised, but the impact it made," Hicks said.
