The Washoe County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the community for supporting the 2^nd Annual Children’s Cancer Classic Basketball Game benefiting the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation (NNCCF). Last Saturday’s matchup between the District Attorney’s Office and the Washoe County Public Defenders raise over $7,000 in support of local families with children undergoing cancer treatment, increased awareness, and promotion of further research for a cure. 

This year’s event once again featured a competitive game, where prosecutors and defense attorneys met each other on a different court, exchanging legal arguments and objections for lay-ups and three-pointers.  DA Hicks said, “for the second year in a row, the real winner of the day was the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation.  I think I can speak for everybody when I say, it is an honor to help fundraise for such an important organization.” 

NNCCF is a local non-profit, providing assistance to local families who have children receiving treatment for cancer through financial and emotional assistance, increased awareness, and promoting research to find a cure. For more information please visit: https://nvchildrenscancer.org/ 

Final Score: District Attorneys 38    Public Defenders 37
