CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI. – The L’Anse Creuse High School and L’Anse Creuse High School – North volleyball teams will host “Pink-Out” games to raise money for those struggling with cancer.

Proceeds from baked goods and pink-out t-shirts sold at the game were donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital in the name of Kim Kozian, English and Journalism teacher at North who lost her battle with cancer in August. In addition, a senior scholarship will be set up in Kozian’s name.
