Girls Basketball Frozen Steak Fundraiser

The CLA Girls Basketball Team is selling frozen 6 oz. striploin steaks to raise money for our program costs. Originally we were planning to play in a tournament on O’ahu, but won’t be able to this season. Hopefully next year!
It will be $25 for a pack of 4 steaks. Orders will be made through the girls’ basketball team players/families, or you can email Coach Arakaki at aarakaki@clahawaii.org to place an order. Orders and money need to be submitted by Wednesday, November 29th. Pickup will be on Friday, December 1st from 2:30 PM – 5:45 PM at the back of the high school campus. If you have any questions please contact Coach Arakaki.
Thank you for supporting Girls Basketball!
