Come down to Massapequa High School, Saturday, Jan. 23, from 1-3 p.m. to support the fifth annual Coaches and Alumni vs. Cancer Ba
sketball Game.
This exciting event, coordinated by Massapequa’s head varsity coach Martin Voigt, is a collaboration between the Massapequa High School boys varsity basketball team, team alumni, the boys booster club and family and friends of the boys’ basketball program in an effort to raise money for cancer.
Alumni basketball players from as early as 1977 have been contacted to participate in this year’s event, and spectators will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets and win prizes, such as a Mets signed baseball, a Jets signed jersey, tickets to Knicks and Rangers games and many other prizes that were donated by local merchants.
“Let’s keep a great thing going,” said Voigt. “Come out and enjoy this spectacular event and support this wonderful cause.”
As in previous years, money raised from the event will support the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Cash donations by players and friends or checks made out to “Lustgarten Foundation” for Pancreatic Cancer Research will be accepted. Secure online donations can also be made at the www.lustgarten.org/donate. Check a box of your choice, and write “Massapequa Alumni Basketball Game” in the comments section.
