CONWAY — For the first time in more than a decade the Kennett High boys’ basketball program will host an alumni game, and the Eagles are doing it with a purpose in mind. The game, which will pit alumni versus alumni on Tuesday, Dec. 26 (6 p.m. at the Nest), is also a fundraiser in the name of the late Chip Kennett, who died from non-small cell lung cancer in 2015.
Alumni players and the community alike are asked to help meet the program’s goal of $5,000 to go to LUNGevity, the leading private provider of research funding for lung cancer.
