Woodrow Wilson holding Hoops for Haiti event

The Tribune-Star
TERRE HAUTE — Woodrow Wilson Middle School is conducting a Hoops for Haiti event to raise money for the earthquake-ravaged country.

The fundraiser will be in conjunction with the Feb. 11 girls basketball games against Chauncey Rose Middle School, which is supporting the effort.

Woodrow Wilson is selling T-shirts that say “Hoops for Haiti.” They can be purchased for $6 by contacting Jennifer Hall at jnh@vigoschools.org. Hall is a Woodrow Wilson teacher and girls basketball coach.

During the seventh- and eighth-grade basketball games, the school will collect donations for Haiti relief.

The school also is taking pledges based on total points scored by both teams. People may donate a penny or quarter for each point scored or provide a direct donation.

Hall said the fundraising project was the idea of one of the basketball players, Michaela Schuld, who recently participated in a missionary trip to Haiti with her father, Dr. Mark Schuld. Donations will go to Mountain Top Ministries and River of Hope orphanage.

The seventh-grade game starts at 5 p.m. and the eighth-grade game will follow.

Michaela, thank you. May God bless your heart & your efforts.
