Last week Avoca 37 and Wilmette 39 teamed up to play in a charity basketball game to raise money for the Juan Orduno Memorial, Haitian Relief, and the New Trier Food Pantry. It is because of your support we were successful in raising plenty of money to go to each area. Thank you for your continued support! Be on the look out for our 2nd annual game next year!
