FOCUS ON COMMUNITY SERVICE
The Boise High Lady Braves Basketball Team (pictured) are proud to announce that they set a new record with this year's Pink Zone results by raising $3655. These efforts bring their 11-year total up to $21,322.00 raised for the Boise chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. All players and coaches should be commended for their efforts to sell tickets and shirts for this worthy cause, and a special shout-out goes to Assistant Coach Erinn Della who led much of the raffle organization and prize acquisition this year.
