Hoop It Up for Life

The fourth annual Hoop It Up for Life free-throw shooting contest was held on March 10 in the Family Life Center gymnasium of Trinity Friends Church in Van Wert. The event was a fundraiser for the Pregnancy Life Center of Van Wert. Contest winners included John Doner, Steve Savage, Steve Heilshorn, Bill McCoy, Brooke Wilcox, Ben Heilshorn, Mike Etter, Avery McCoy, Anthony Kline, Caden Hanf, Holden Price and Cabot Miller. Each participant received a ribbon, and the winners of each age division will receive a t-shirt. Thanks were given to those who came out to support the local Pregnancy Life Center (www.pregnancylifecenter.org) as well as Rob Welch and everyone at Northwest Ohio Welch Trophy (www.nwohiowelchtrophy.com) for donating the winners’ t-shirts.
