Ask the Times: Donations fund basketball teams Alaskan road trip
Placeholder Image
How does the East Hall High School basketball team financially support a trip to Alaska to play in a tournament (airline, hotel, food, transportation, etc.)? The East Hall Vikings basketball team will be competing in the Alaska Airlines Classic basketball tournament after raising about $8,000-10,000 through several months of fundraising. Alaska Airlines will provide compensated flights to and from Anchorage, Alaska, as the airline is a sponsor of the tournament, according to Vikings coach Joe Dix. Dix and the team will be staying in a hotel in downtown Anchorage with other teams from Nevada, Florida and Alaska.
