🫧🏀 “SUDS & SERVICE” CAR WASH FUNDRAISER 🏀🫧

A little late, but the gratitude is still just as real!!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported our recent car wash fundraiser benefiting the Ripley Middle & High School Boys Basketball programs!

Because of your generosity, support, and willingness to pour back into our youth, we were able to raise funds that will help support them.

From every donation to every vehicle washed, every share, every honk, and every encouraging word — we appreciate it all more than you know. Special thanks to all of the players, volunteers, parents, coaches, and community members who showed up ready to work and support the vision.

This was bigger than a car wash. It was the community coming together to invest in the future of Ripley hoops and the young men behind the jerseys.

We are grateful for the continued love and support shown to our athletes and our community initiatives. The future is bright! ✨
