Varsity Athletes Give Back to Fulton’s Youth Basketball Players
More than 140 young basketball players left the War Memorial with a gift after Saturday’s game day for Fulton Youth Basketball. Presents were collected by varsity and junior varsity athletes from the girls basketball and cheerleading teams as well as the varsity boys soccer team, all of which individual athletes purchased their own presents to donate. As an undertaking led by Fulton’s athletic director Christopher Ells, each team in the district organizes and prioritizes a project to emphasize giving back to the community. For the girls basketball program’s project, 143 gifts were purchased and donated to be distributed randomly to Fulton Youth Basketball players from each team in grades pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.
