This year’s 6th Annual FHN Pink Ribbon Basketball game will be held on Friday, February 14th.  This year’s game pits the Knights against the Jaguars of Fort Zumwalt West.  Both JV and Varsity girls and boys will play throughout the evening, with the JV girls starting off the games.

Between the varsity girls and boys games, the teams will take time to honor someone special to them who has been affected by cancer.  Each player will present a replica jersey poster to their honoree.  This will be followed by the varsity boys contest.

T-shirts are for sale the the evenings games, and can be ordered  up until today.  All money raised from this event will be donated to The American Cancer Society.  Last year was our largest ever, donating $1,400.00; which puts us over five thousand dollars throughout our history of the FHN Pink Ribbon Game.

Please come and support the teams, as they support those in our lives who are the REAL HEROES. 2/14 Hahn
