Holmes Jr. High holds charity basketball game

The 2nd annual Holmes Helping Homes charity basketball game takes place beginning at 2:40 p.m. Wednesday in the gymnasium of Holmes Junior High, 900 West Lonnquist Boulevard, in Mount Prospect.

The event pits the school’s eighth grade boys basketball team against a squad made up of school staff and faculty members to raise money for local families who are in need during the holiday season. So far, students have raised $600 toward a goal of $1,000.

The cost is $3 to attend, $2 if wearing a red shirt. All participants will pay $2 as well. Besides raising funds for the needy, organizers hope to have the entire Holmes population create a “Red Out” the day of the game, also known as paint the house “RED!”

There will be halftime performances by Holmes cheerleaders, poms, step team, and chorus.
