Swish for Kids brings smiles and hoops for cancer patients and survivors
It just keeps getting bigger and better.
St. Ephrem’s Youth Basketball Program hosted its fourth annual Swish for Kids. The event, a fundraiser to aid families who have children diagnosed with cancer, was a success thanks to local colleges, coaches, and young and eager basketball fans who are cancer patients or survivors.
On Sunday, January 25, Saint Patrick’s Gym hosted the event as the St. Francis Terriers and College of Mount Saint Vincent Dolphins men’s basketball teams spread cheer by teaching the 40-plus children in attendance how they prepare for games. The morning included drills, pickup games and exercises. The children also received trophies and were treated to a pizza party.
