Today Home Page correspondent Lauren Gooch had the opportunity to talk to the family of Casey Patrick. Casey was a 2010 Wellsboro High School graduate who passed away in 2011 at the age of 19. She was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart condition known as Eisenmenger’s Syndrome.

For the past four years, Casey’s brother, Drew, has started memorial basketball games in his sister’s honor. Players from the boys and girls basketball teams will take on the faculty of the Wellsboro Area School District in the 4th Annual Casey L. Patrick Memorial Basketball Game.

This event will take place in the Wellsboro High School Gymnasium this Saturday, March 14th, at 7:00 PM. The doors will open at 6:30 PM. The cost is $3.50 per person and children under five are free. All proceeds benefit the Casey L. Patrick Memorial Scholarship Fund and the high school basketball teams. This scholarship is awarded annually to a senior within the school district planning to attend college, majoring in Education. In addition to the game, there will be a silent auction and a 50/50 foul shot competition at halftime.

There will also be a bake sale provided by the members of the Connectors PLUS program. We hope to see you this Saturday at the 4th annual Casey L Patrick Memorial Basketball Game!
