JCSD Student Lighthouse Team Honors Local Family

The Janesville High School Student Lighthouse Team is hosting Coaches vs. Cancer at the home game vs. Clarksville on Tuesday, January 31st.

Coaches vs. Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. This year we are teaming up with the mission to increase cancer awareness and support a local Janesville family. All funds raised this year will go to Paul “Oscar” Britt and his wife, Donna. Paul was recently diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer and passed away on December 28th. Paul and Donna are lifelong Janesville residents and avid supporters of our Janesville community and basketball teams. Paul graduated from Janesville in 1968. Donna currently works at the school as a preschool associate. Their children and many of their grandchildren have attended Janesville schools and been involved in basketball including our current jr. high boys basketball coach, Tori Hazard (‘17), and current high school boys basketball player, Daniel Britt (So).

There will be many activities for all ages during the event on January 31st.
