A tradition that started about ten years ago and benefits underprivileged children continued at the Kewaunee High School gym on Friday night. The “mitten toss” again saw hundreds of fans between the Kewaunee boys and girls basketball games Friday night throw mittens, gloves, winter hats, and scarfs onto the court to benefit students of all ages in the Kewaunee School District.

The Kewaunee National Honor Society sponsored the event, and vice-president Ellie Delebreau, who helped organize the event, says the mitten toss brings the community and the students together for a needed cause.

Delebreau noted that Friday’s “Mitten Toss” collected 530 winter items compared to 400 last year.
