Community Sports, Fast Breaks for March 1: Mr. Bulldog and Mr. MHS contestants to square off in volleyball Tuesday
By Staff Reports
Thursday, March 06, 2008 | No comments posted.
The Mr. Bulldog and Mr. MHS contestants will meet again this year for their annual volleyball challenge to help raise money or their respective organizations.
The game will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Marshfield High School gym. Admission is $5 and proceeds will be split between the two pageants.
The contestants in the Mr. MHSpageant are raising money for their “Help Us Help Our Community” fund, which will go to a number of different local charities.
All money raised by the Mr. Bulldog contestants will be donated directly to the Children’s Miracle Network, which in turn goes directly to the neo-natal unit of Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, where the money is used to purchse vital medical equipment used specifically in treating sick or injured infants and children at Sacred Heart.
