A Night “Bigger Than Basketball”: Claysburg Cheerleaders Reveal $5,700 Raised for Hadley Reed & Anita Martin
Last night, the energy was palpable at Claysburg-Kimmel High School, where the Northern Bedford County Boys and Girls Basketball Teams faced off against their rivals, Claysburg-Kimmel HS, in the highly anticipated 5th installment of their “Bigger Than Basketball” series.
The stands were packed with fans, families, and community members, all united for more than just the love of the game. This was a night to make a difference—a night to show that together, we are stronger.
As the evening unfolded, excitement reached its peak during a heartfelt moment led by the Claysburg-Kimmel Cheer Team. In front of a massive crowd, the cheerleaders revealed an incredible achievement: $5,700 raised to support Hadley Reed, a kindergartener at Foot of Ten Elementary, and Anita Martin, a cherished member of the Northern Bedford community battling cancer.
The funds raised are a testament to the power of teamwork, compassion, and a shared purpose. Behind the scenes, countless individuals contributed to the event’s success. From the teachers, staff, and administration who helped organize, to the Claysburg Girls Basketball Parents who went above and beyond to deliver a first-class experience, everyone played a role in making the evening unforgettable.
This outpouring of generosity didn’t stop at donations. Every ticket purchased, concession bought, and kind gesture helped make a tangible difference in the lives of Hadley and Anita.
