To the editor:
The 2020 Cardinals vs. Cancer Committee sincerely thanks all those who made so many important contributions and donations to our 2020 Cardinals vs. Cancer Alumni Basketball Day. This event has become a great source of pride within the Westwood Regional School District Community. Over the years, Cardinals vs. Cancer has been able to support local families and their fight against cancer.
[See “Seventh Cardinals vs. Cancer Jan. 11 in Memory of a Pal,” Dec. 23, 2019.]
Also, a special thanks to all our volunteers, including teachers, parents, administration, coaches, students, custodial staff, basketball alumni players and parents, community members, National Honor Society students, Westwood High School Cheerleaders, and the boys and girls basketball teams.
Proceeds from this year’s event continued to support the fight against cancer, but also kickstarted the Vito Trause Memorial Charitable Trust.
