Addie’s Army Fundraiser
Join Addie‘s army at the boys basketball game Tuesday night as we raise money to help Addison Griffiths family with medical expenses. Addie is a junior here at UTHS. She was diagnosed with cancer and has undergone her first round of chemotherapy. Addie will continue to undergo medical treatment for at least the next two years. Addison and her family really need their panther family support at this time. Let’s show our panther pride, by showing up and cheering on our Panther basketball team as they take on Moline and support Addie as she takes on cancer. If you have an Addie’s Army shirt please wear it to the game. If you don’t have an Addie’s Army shirt, please wear blue, purple or yellow. Let’s show Addie that her fight is our fight.
