Jackson supports 'Champions Against Cancer'

Southeast SportsCare and Jackson High School men's and women's basketball teams partnered for Champions Against Cancer during the recent basketball season. The teams raised more than $2,600 through the sale of T-shirts and a Cardinals ticket raffle at selected home games. Of that amount, $1,310 was donated to SoutheastHEALTH Foundation for the Cancer Patient Experience Fund, and $1,310 was donated to Jackson Athletics. Jackson Athletics presented its portion to the B Strong Foundation and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
