Central Cambria Boy’s Basketball Red-Out

The Red-Out event is the opportunity to increase community/school participation through a Boy’s Varsity Basketball game in order to raise awareness, fund lifesaving research, involve our students in a community service project, and increase the visibility of the positive aspects of the school system within the community.

We plan to make this a building success by involving our Middle School as well. Miss Getz is doing a Hoops for Heart unit with her students and plans to incorporate several incentive based activities to raise awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. Mrs. Klezek is going to be working on a Nutrition for Heart Health unit with her students and will help sell Red-Out T-Shirts during the Middle School lunch period. High school students will sell Red-Out T-Shirts during their lunch periods and proceeds from the sales will be donated to the American Heart Association. We also plan on having February 6th a Red-Out day in school to raise awareness. The entire school can participate by just wearing red and hopefully we raise awareness to combat this disease. Those who attend the game will be encouraged to wear their Red-Out T-Shirt, or a red shirt, in order to support this event.
