U-Hi team’s run to aid hurricane victims

During its annual Centennial Trail fund-raiser, University’s boys cross country team will run Tuesday to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The team will sell T-shirts, donated by Eagle Sportswear, said coach Linda Lanker, at the clock tower in Riverfront Park starting at 3 p.m. and will accept donations during their run along the trail to Mirabeau Park in Spokane Valley.

All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross.

“The guys are willing and wanting to do something for the victims,” said Lanker. “Anyone who wants to can join in, buy a shirt or donate. Then we’ll have a pizza party at Brown’s Park, across from University High School, at 7 p.m. and people can make donations there.”

Lanker said people can also write checks to the American Red Cross and mail them in care of her to University High, 12420 E. 32nd Ave., Spokane Valley, WA 99216.
