Richards softball program raises $3,000 at Pink and Gray Game

The softball program from Richards High School raised more than $3,000 this year at the Pink and Gray Game.

The event, which honors graduate Christa Carbray-Johnson and young Abby Wujcik, raised money for cancer research, those in the fight against cancer, and the Richards softball program.

Christa, a 1994 graduate who played softball at Richards, died in 2012 from cancer. Abby, the daughter of graduates Kevin and Kristyn Wujcik, passed away in 2013 from a brain tumor.

Donations were made to Faye’s Light, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, the American Brain Tumor Association.

“We also donated some of the money to the college fund that was set up for Christa’s young sons by her family after her passing,” said Richards varsity softball coach Julie Folliard.
