Building on the success of last year, a local Relay for Life team is once again coordinating a donkey basketball game in Columbia City.
"Buckeye Donkey Basketball" is planned for Saturday, April 17, in the Marshall Memorial Gymnasium on Walnut Street. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the game begins at 7 p.m.
Several of the participants include Matt "Turtle" Bunyan, William Jeffers, Corey Sheets and others.
All proceeds from the event will support the fight against cancer through the American Cancer Society's Whitley County Relay for Life.
