Thanks to the generosity of family and friends...and to the free-throw shooting ability of our players...Roots raised a total of $3,805.35 during our one-day free-throw-athon on November 21.

As a result, Roots was able to give $1,000 to each of the following organizations that provide assistance to youths on Bainbridge Island:

Bainbridge Youth Services (http://bainbridgeyouthservices.org/)
Bainbridge Island Boys & Girls Club (http://positiveplace.org/locations/bainbridgeisland/Pages/home.aspx)
Helpline House (http://www.helplinehouse.org/)
Bainbridge High School's InvestED Fund (http://www.invested.org/)

See the links above to read about the wonderful services these organizations provide.

Thank you to all who participated in the first annual Roots Free-Throw-Athon.  We look forward to many more years of this great event.
