Pastors shoot for end to malaria

Pastors from four United Methodist churches will raise funds to fight malaria by shooting baskets on Saturday at the First United Methodist Church West Campus, 867 U.S. Highway 40.

Pastors Mitch Todd and Tom Brady, both of First United Methodist Church, will each shoot 1,000 free throws at the event, which is from noon to 3 p.m.

Pastors Shirley Edgerton, of Vinland United Methodist, Jay Henderson, Central United Methodist, and Dan Norwood, Centenary United Methodist, will also shoot hoops as part of the event. There will also be a lunch, games and other activities.

All proceeds will be given to the organization Imagine No Malaria. The event is open to the public and there is a $5 suggested donation.
