CC officials ready to shave heads Monday

The Clarendon College basketball teams are making Monday, February 11, Cancer Awareness Night in the Dawg House.

Come out and support the teams as they taken on Western Texas College, and help the teams raise funds to benefit the Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Foundation at the same time.

The women’s game starts at 5:45 p.m. with the men starting at 7:45 p.m.

“That night we ask you to wear pink and bring a donation to Harrington Cancer Foundation,” Lady Bulldog head coach Brad Vanden Boogaard said. “And to sweeten the deal and entice you to donate even more, myself and several others are putting our hair on the line.”

If the college community raises enough money, several coaches and administrators have stepped up and said they will shave their hair off during a public event on campus.

The levels that must be reached for each person are: women’s basketball coach Brad Vanden Boogaard – $500, Men’s Basketball coach Tony Starnes – $1,000, Dean of Students Tex Buckhaults – $1,500, Athletic Director John Green $2,000, and CC President Phil Shirley – $5,000.

Cash or check donations can be made anytime by dropping them off at the women’s basketball office in the Bulldog Gym or by contacting the women’s basketball office at 806-874-4834.

“We can pick donations up from anywhere if you call us,” Vanden Boogaard said.

This fundraiser will continue throughout the basketball season, and the teams hope to raise enough to meet their first goal of $500 by Monday night so that Coach Vanden Boogaard’s hair can be shaved during halftime of the men’s game.

Also, at the game February 11, fans will be able to purchase tickets for door prize drawings during the games.

Checks can be made out to Harrington Cancer Foundation.
