Basketball: Loudoun County Seeks Sponsors for Hoops for Heroes Night

(Dec. 7, 2012) - Loudoun County High School is seeking sponsors for its Hoops for Heroes Night on Jan. 24, 2013. The event, which benefits the Wounded Warrior Project, features five basketball games between the Raiders and their Leesburg rival Tuscarora.

The event is being organized by Raider junior basketball player Maggie Phillips, who will attend the Naval  Academy starting in 2014-15, where she will play NCAA Division I volleyball.

"I wanted to do something for the community," said Phillips. "Both of my parents served, so this is an issue near and dear to my heart."

Phillips said her father graduated from VMI and served 23 years in the Marines including two tours in Iraq and that her mother graduated from the Naval Academy and was an aviator who now flies commercially.

"It is going to be a fun night. It is an intense rivalry. The students will be dressed in camo and the ROTC will be there," said Phillips.

Phillips is looking for local sponsors to pay $200 to support the evening. Sponsorship includes acknowledgement in the program, two game passes, free table to showcase products/services at the event, PA announcements during the games and more. For details see this flyer.
