On Friday, Feb. 6, Delaware Valley High School hosted the annual Coaches vs. Cancer event. The evening’s festivities featured a boys/girls basketball doubleheader against Valley View. While cancer awareness is represented by many different colors, this year’s theme was a “Pink Out.”
The high school journalism team broadcasted their second High School Game Day event, and a raffle/silent auction was held throughout the evening.
The combined efforts of numerous students, staff, and members of the community resulted in $5,000 raised for the American Cancer Society. On Monday, March 30 Cindy Delaney from the American Cancer Society met with students and staff, who formally presented the organization with a check.
While donations across the region continue to be made, DV is expected to be one of the top fundraising schools in the area for this year’s event.
