Volunteers looking forward to annual spring Relay for Life fundraiser
(Talk of the Town file photo) Volunteers will show their skills and some humor while they raise funds at the upcoming 2011 Donkey Basketball game for the American Cancer Society. Below, Ryan Wilson finds an unconventional way down the court in the Marshall Memorial Gymnasium in 2009.

It is basketball season in Indiana right now -- but locally, there is something that's an even bigger crowd pleaser than regular basketball -- DONKEY basketball!
Indeed, for the past three years, a group of enthusiastic, basketball-loving Whitley County Relay for Life fundraising volunteers have found a way to combine their love of sports, passion for raising cancer fighting funds and an apparent love of farm animals!
This year's Relay for Life Buckeye Donkey Basketball game is Friday, April 15, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the Marshall Memorial Gymnasium on Walnut Street in Columbia City.
Tickets are available from the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce, at Portside Pizza or through Terri Zumbrun at Parkview Whitley Hospital.
Tickets are $20 for a Family, $10 for adults, $5 for kids 6-12 and they're FREE for children ages 5 and under.
