Pembroke Girls Basketball team to host 9th annual Shooting for a Cure game to raise money for Roswell Park

The team hopes to raise $30,000 this year to add to the more than $120,000 they've raised to date.

PEMBROKE, N.Y. — When the Pembroke Girls Basketball team takes to the court Thursday evening, it will be about much more than winning a game. 

They want to help people win their fight against cancer, and they hope to raise money for cancer research and awareness through their annual Shooting for a Cure game.

Pembroke's JV team will tip off against Oakfield-Alabama at 5 p.m. at Pembroke High School. The varsity game begins at 7 p.m. 

The team hopes to raise $30,000 for Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center this year. The team has raised more than $120,000 during the previous eight charity games.

Shooting for a Cure has become one of Roswell's largest community-based fundraising efforts.
