The Purple Out game at Montour High School is more than basketball—it’s a yearly event that brings everyone together to celebrate community and generosity during an exciting game.
The Purple Out Basketball Game is both a sports event and a fundraiser for Alina’s Light. The Montour community unites here, showing support for each other. Players, fans, and volunteers all contribute, making the game meaningful. This event is very dear to our hearts here at Alina’s Light.
The Significance of Purple Out
“As a mother who has endured the unimaginable loss of a child to domestic violence, the Purple Out Basketball Game at Montour High School is a heartfelt tribute to my daughter, Alina.” – Elly Sheykhet.
This event is not just a game; it’s a powerful gathering that supports Alina’s Light, the organization founded in Alina’s memory. Dressed in purple, players and supporters stand together against domestic violence. As we come together, each donation and each cheer not only honors Alina’s life but also strengthens our purpose to help prevent such tragedies from touching another family. Tonight, we honor a mother’s love for her lost daughter and watch Montour community inspire us to make a lasting difference in her name.
Montour High School Girls Basketball Team
Tonight’s event showcased not just support for a great cause, but also the exceptional skill and sportsmanship of Montour High School’s basketball team. The players, each a significant part of the school’s athletic pride, demonstrated their prowess on the court, underlining why these games are about more than just scores; they are about heart, effort, and community.
🏀The girls’ basketball team has exhibited remarkable dedication this season, honing their skills through rigorous practices. The offense strategies employed by these players showcase not just talent, but a true understanding of teamwork and coordination.
We’re proud to watch Montour High School’s basketball team excel in their game. Their skill is impressive, and it’s heartwarming to see them play with such passion, especially when it’s for a cause that means so much to our community.
