Hall Of Pride Game To Benefit Sheldon Teen Fighting Cancer

Sheldon, Iowa — A Sheldon teen battling cancer will benefit from a day of basketball on Saturday, November 25th.

The game will be played at the “O-Rena” at Sheldon High School, and will benefit Madison Uhl. Uhl, a senior at Sheldon High School and daughter of Todd Uhl and Wendy Robinson has been diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a type of cancer that occurs most often in and around the bones. Ewing’s Sarcoma is rare and typically affects children and young adults.

A varsity basketball doubleheader is planned. Sioux City East will play Spirit Lake (at Sheldon) starting at 3:00 p.m. Sheldon will follow by playing Bishop Heelan at approximately 4:30 p.m. or 15 minutes after the first game is done.

Organizers tell us that the Hall of Pride Challenge game is a community service event that offers schools an opportunity to give back to a need or cause in their communities.

The four teams taking part will be selling raffle tickets in their communities in the coming weeks. Raffle tickets will be for an assortment of prizes to be drawn between the two games. Winners of the raffle do not have to be present at the game to win.
