Donned in “Volley For A Cure” T-shirts, the girls won all three of their games with Linden, 25-10, 25-12 and 25-20, and clinched third place in the Metro League.
The fundraiser collected nearly $1,000 to help two families that had daughters play on the Lapeer East volleyball team who have suffered a loss to cancer in the last year.
Jessica Knapp’s mother, Kathy, lost her battle to breast cancer this past June. Evie, Kari, and Lisa Dinsmore’s dad, Steve, lost his battle to stomach cancer this past August.
The team honored both families and the memory of each of their parents at the game.

The girls raised the bulk of their funds through the sale of Volley for a Cure T-shirts. Sponsors of the fundraiser included Dr. Aaron Fisher, DDS, Dr. Albert Smith Jr. and family, Dr. John Yap, Lapeer Medical Associates, Mott Community College, Ray C’s and Speedy Screen Printing.
