Thank you to our families, students, and community members who came out last night to support Volley for a Cure. Our community raised $2,845 for the Cancer Support Center of Mokena!
Thank you to our staff members who played or volunteered to work the night and to the Mokena Fire and Police Departments who provided us some competition.
We would like to extend a special thank you to Mrs. Blank as she coordinated her last Volley for a Cure after many years of doing so. Her impact from this event on our community has been tremendous and will continue to be felt for years to come. We hope you will be back next year in your retirement to cheer us on!
