Mitchell HS vs Mountain Heritage HS

PINK Basketball GAME Challenge for Breast Cancer

All of us know someone who is, has been, or will be affected by the diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that 115 people will be diagnosed with cancer this year in Mitchell County. To help raise awareness and to fight this major health problem, the students at Mitchell High School are competing against the students at Mountain Heritage High School with donations supporting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Mitchell and Yancey County team efforts in each community. The PINK GAME Challenge will be played on Tuesday, February 2nd at Mitchell HS.

The two schools raised $4,000 in the Fall Football PINK GAME Challenge. The school that raised the most money was rewarded a trophy at the Mitchell/Mountain Heritage football game on Friday night, Oct. 23. Mountain Heritage High School won the trophy, however Mitchell High School can take back the trophy Feb 2, 2010 as MHS hosts MHHS for the PINK GAME basketball game.

“Our goal is to raise $10,000 in both communities, by showing our school spirit and getting your donation to either school’s cheerleaders, according to Chad Trivette, Relay For Life volunteer.” “We would like to encourage all those who attend the game to wear pink in honor of breast cancer awareness—and of course, it looks great with purple, stated Trivette.”

The Mitchell County Relay For Life is scheduled for Friday, July 9 2010 at Riverside Park. To learn more about the Relay go to www.RelayForLife.org/mitchellrelay or call 828/254-6931. The Yancey County Relay For Life is tentatively set for Friday, June 18 2010 at Mountain Heritage HS. To learn more about the Relay go to www.RelayForLife.org/yancey or call 828/254-6931.
