A type of “March Madness” will return as the 17th annual basketball game between the Churchville-Chili LEO Club and the Churchville Lions Club is scheduled for Sunday, March 1. Game time is 1 p.m. at the Churchville Middle School gym C (enter from Fairbanks Road through door #37).
This increasingly popular event will be for the benefit of the Tim Miller family. Tim is a math teacher at the Middle School and has been the varsity boys basketball coach for the past 10 years. Tim has also been very active in the district and community with many basketball and recreational camps and teaching seminars. Tim’s wife is seriously ill with breast cancer and Tim has taken a leave of absence while he cares for her and their two young children, Sloan age 7, and JP, who is 4. Both teams will be joined by teachers and coaches, students in the school basketball programs as well as members of the Churchville Fire Department.
Donations will be accepted by members of the LEO Club, Lions Club or Fire Department. They can also be mailed to the Churchville-Chili LEO Club at the Middle School, 139 Fairbanks Road, Churchville.
The LEO Club is comprised of students in grades 7 through 12 who perform various community service activities. These students prepare a monthly meal at the Ronald McDonald House; routinely attend functions and interact with students at the Batavia School For The Blind; Westside Relay For Life; help at the School of the Holy Childhood, Patriot Camp, Riga Recreation and numerous school and community functions. Many activities are also done in concert with their sponsors, the Churchville Lions Club, such as Country Fair, environmental cleanups and chicken barbecues.
LEO Club Advisors are Mary Pat Dewey, PE teacher at the Senior High and Marty Molinari, Life Member of the Churchville Lions Club.
