3'S for 33 Program

The varsity boys basketball team at E. D. White Catholic is asking your business or organization to help fight leukemia by participating in our "3's for 33" Program.

The program is one in which a business or organization can make a donation for every three-point basket made by the varsity boys basketball team this season. All proceeds will go towards St. Jude Hospital, in honor of Bradley Hamilton (#33), a junior on the basketball team currently battling leukemia.

With each subsequent EDW newsletter, your business or organization will be listed amongst the participants in this program.

A running total will be kept throughout the season, and you will be notified at the conclusion of the season, the number of three-pointers made by the Cardinals.

To participate in the program, simply fill out the form located on the EDW website and return it to Kaye Constant, at [email protected], or return the form to the Main office at EDW, or to the admission table at the next home basketball game.
