The Paradise High School Girls Basketball team will visit Lassen High this Tuesday, playing both the JV and Varsity squads as part of a special fundraiser to help support the Paradise team after their town was destroyed by the Camp Fire two weeks ago.
The Camp Fire devastated Paradise and several other towns in Butte County, killing more than 80 people, destroying more than 12,500 homes and burning more than 152,000 acres.
According to Lassen’s ASB and CSF Advisor Carrie Satica the high school district has agreed to give all gate proceeds back to Paradise High School.
“The LHS girls basketball program is also donating reversibles to the entire Paradise girls program,” said Satica, “as well as each LHS team member has prepared a basketball back pack for each Paradise girl that includes donated items.”
Lassen Hoops is also preparing a team dinner for both teams to eat together before their games.
Community members will find a donation jar located at the ticket gate.
The JV game begins at 5:30p.m. and Varsity game starts at 7:00 in the gym at Lassen High.
