Our Hearts Go Out to the Salem Community! ❤️🐯💙
Last night, the Salem community experienced a devastating loss just before Christmas. Their sheltered workshop, which housed a gift distribution center supporting hundreds of families, was tragically lost in a fire.
Our Tiger community wants to step up and help. All proceeds and donations from tomorrow's JV tournament game and Friday night's boys' basketball game will go directly to the Bank of Salem who will distribute the funds.
Let's come together to support our neighbors in this time of need. Thank you for showing the true spirit of the season, Tigers!
