Basketball Fundraiser Nets $10K for Girl Battling Lymphoma

A basketball doubleheader on December 10 was used as a fundraiser to support the daughter of Lake Forest High School freshman boys basketball assistant Steve Johnson, who is fighting lymphoma.

The Lake Forester reports the boys and girls doubleheader brought in $10,000 to benefit Lexie Johnson, 14, who was diagnosed on October 23. The money was raised through ticket proceeds, T-shirt sales and a raffle.
