A successful March Madness fundraiser is critical to the continued growth of the Booster Club.

The Huntington Booster Club's will host its annual March Madness  event on Sunday, March 7 between 2-5 p.m. at Christopher's Courtyard Café, located at 8 Wall Street in Huntington Village.

Last year's March Madness get-together attracted dozens of Blue Devil aficionados, including parents, coaches, alumni and fans. Admission is priced at $50 for tickets purchased in advance or $60 at the door. No one under 21 years of age will be admitted.

Proceeds from the event will be used to provide financial support for annual scholarships, the purchase of equipment, summer sports camp programs and refreshments at athletic events and sports awards nights.
