Due to inclement weather conditions, the fifth annual Coaches and Alumni vs. Cancer Basketball Game has been rescheduled for Saturday, Feb. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Massapequa High School. Come on down and support a worthy cause while enjoying an entertaining afternoon of basketball.
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.
“Let’s keep a great thing going,” said Voigt. “Come out and enjoy this spectacular event and support this wonderful cause.”
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.
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 in the comments section, write “Massapequa Alumni Basketball Game.”
