Each year, the Montville girls’ basketball team selects a home game to fundraise and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer.
The 2019-20 PINK GAME was played on February 8, 2020 vs. Mendham, which was our County Tournament 1st Round Game. Donations at the door, gate fees, and profits from the snack bar totaled $1,058! Thank you to all of the fans/supporters of Montville & Mendham girls basketball for their generous donations and support.
The 2018-19 PINK GAME was played on January 26, 2019 vs. Boonton, which was our County Tournament Preliminary Game. The donations at the door, which totaled $375, went to the American Cancer Society.
The 2017-18 PINK GAME was played on Monday, 2/12 vs. Pope John, where the donations at the door went to the American Cancer Society. Funds raised from our
SHOOT-A-THON went to a Montville family in need. And money collected from our first round MCT game went to the family of a Morris County basketball coach who recently passed. Funds raised this year totaled $884!
In 2016-17, we focused our efforts on both helping a Montville family in need and again donating to the American Cancer Society. We ended up raising $840 in SHOOT-A-THON money for the Montville family in need, and $550 in PINK GAME (played on 2/17 vs. Morris Knolls) donations for the American Cancer Society. The $1,390 ups our program’s grand total of money fundraised to $8,780!
The 2015-16 PINK GAME was on Friday, 2/5 vs. Whippany Park. From donations at the door, gathering sponsors for our players’ SHOOT-A-THON, and receiving donations from Robert R. Lazar Middle School’s teachers we raised a total of $1,290 in the 2015-16 season.
The 2014-15 PINK GAME was versus Mendham on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 7:00PM at Montville HS. From the donations at the door, our shoot-a-thon, and our winter beanie sales, we raised over $1,700 the 2014-15 season to help fight and end this disease!
In the 2013-14 season, with the help of Lynn/Bussey's Robert R. Lazar Middle School advisory class, over $3,200 was raised for the American Cancer Society. That earned us 5th place nationally as a team in the Coaches vs. Cancer fundraising leaderboard!
In 2012-13, our inaugural “PINK GAME”, we raised $1,200. We are looking to beat those numbers each and every year. Please join us in the fight and donate to our team and help us save more lives!
