KidSport hosts major fundraiser this weekend in La Ronge
Tri-community residents are invited to attend La Ronge KidSport’s 12th annual Three-On-Three Basketball Tournament starting tonight at Churchill Community High School.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a barbecue at the front steps of the school, followed by two games this evening which start at 7 p.m. The tournament gets going again tomorrow at 9 a.m. and will wrap up with a steak supper fundraiser at the nearby curling rink at 6 p.m. Committee member Kristy McDougall stated the event serves as the group’s major fundraiser of the year and she was expecting it would earn about $15,000 in donations and sales.
“That keeps us going with the different grants we get and what not from different sporting agencies throughout the year,” she said. “All of our proceeds go directly back into the community.”
