CHS and Homer Basketball Game Honors former Homer Basketball Alumnus

On Friday, December 3rd, the Cortland High School and Homer High School Boys Basketball teams met up for a night of basketball and fundraising. Fundraising was in honor of a former Homer basketball player, Blaise Dafoe, who passed away in September of 2019 of Marfan Syndrome.

The December 3rd game was meant to bring about educational awareness to players and spectators in both districts. The game also helped to raise funds for the Marfan Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to help save lives and improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome.

Admission costs for the event were waived in lieu of donation buckets and at halftime there was a 3 point shooting competition for all fans with a small entry fee that went to the fundraiser. Information can be found at: https://marfan.org/give/ if you would like to donate.
