JHS Hockey Hosting Relay For Life Fundraiser

February 4, 2013

In the last few years, the Jamestown High School girls hockey team, which has several players from Valley City, has worked to help Relay for Life, and tomorrow night the team kicks off its latest fundraising effort when it hosts a week-long community scavenger hunt.
The hunt will kick off on Wednesday and will end with teams bringing their items in on Feb. 13 at the Eagles Arena Hockey Rink in Jamestown.
The hunt will consist of 50 items: some of them common, everyday items, some of them hockey items and some of them hard to find items. The first list of items has been released and the second will be given out at the girls' last home game on Friday at the Wilson Area in Jamestown.
grand prize for the best scavenger is a four-day, three night stay in San Francisco for two people. The prize includes two airline tickets, three-night hotel stay and two wharf passes for the bay area. Second prize will be a portable Garman GPS system and third prize $100 cash.
Items will need to be presented by one of scavenger team's members between 6–8pm on the final night at the Eagles Arena in Jamestown. People may register by contacting one of the girl hockey players or contacting Karen Finck 701-368-9224 or emailing kfinck@daktel.com. There is an entry fee of $25 per person.
The team started its work with Relay for Life in 2010,
The first fund raiser they did was the “Flush Out Cancer” lawn ornament. Since cancer seems to come in the middle of the night, the girls would place a toilet lawn ornament in someone’s yard during the night. The victim then was asked to give a donation to remove the lawn ornament and send it on its way to the next victim.
The girls have done lawn ornaments, donations and car washes resulting in over $18,000 towards the cause.
Coach Brad Schaack has also been instrumental on the girl’s relay team: he has put his heart and sole into the effort and has been an inspiration to the girls, raising over $5,000 last year by using internet, connections and Facebook.
Players from Valley City include Brenna Pritcher, Elly Milender and Haley Schnaidt. The Bluejays have the smallest team in the region, playing only 12 players, but have remained in the top-five of the state rankings.
