💗A Recap from Friday Night 💗
“Proud” and “Honored” are the two words that have continued to sit with our program all weekend.
For the past month, our girls basketball program has been working toward our Fight Cancer In All Colors Night. What happened Friday was bigger than a game.
The way our community came together alongside Luther High School was extraordinary. Because of the generosity, time, and heart poured into this event, we were able to raise and donate $7,423.01 to the Chaseburg Area Cancer Walk. These dollars will support cancer research and, just as importantly, help local families walking through incredibly difficult battles.
That impact belongs to so many people.
💙 Thank you to our Westby Girls Basketball families for donating your time, money, baskets, gift cards, and energy.
💜 Thank you to Cakes by Kolbo for the sweet treats.
💛 Thank you to Missy Haakenson and Lindsey for donating cookies.
💚 Thank you to Daily Brew for donating proceeds from the “Alley Oop Lotus” and allowing us to sell Pink Starburst Lotus drinks at the event.
🧡 Thank you to local businesses for supporting this cause with donated gift cards.
🤍 Thank you to American Family Insurance and Amanda Wright for your generous donation.
🩶 Thank you to the Luther Girls Basketball team and community for partnering with us on such an impactful night.
🩵 Thank you to the Westby Area School District for continually supporting our program and our mission of teaching lessons that are bigger than sport.
❤️And most importantly, our players.
We ask these young women multiple times a week to step between the lines, block out the outside world for 36 minutes, and give everything they have to each other and this program. Friday was no different. They competed with toughness and heart, while being part of something that reached far beyond the scoreboard.
Even after a hard-fought loss, they stayed to thank community members, connect with families, and represent what this program truly stands for.
That’s what makes Westby special.
There truly is no place like Westby Area High School, and our girls continue to prove that leadership, gratitude, and compassion matter more than any final score.
Proud to be part of this community.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Westby Girls Basketball
