Alumni Basketball Game Benefits Linda Laub Fund

This past Saturday marked the 3rd annual Alumni Basketball game played in Garden Spot’s old high school gym.  14 alumni played on Saturday in a close contest that saw the black squad beat the gray squad 66 – 63.  While the game allows former GS players to compete against each other, it also serves as a fundraiser for the Linda Laub Consumer Science Fund.  Linda was a former consumer science teacher at Garden Spot, who lost her battle with cancer 2 ½ years ago.  She touched many of our lives as a teacher, colleague, friend, and many other roles that she played in her lifetime.  All admission, raffle, and t-shirt proceeds go directly to her fund.  This fund awards GS students an opportunity to earn a scholarship each year.

The cost of the t-shirts are $10.00.  If you would like to purchase a t-shirt or make a contribution/donation to Linda’s fund, please contact Ryan Trupe at ryan_trupe@elanco.org.
