A special event came together during a girl’s basketball game at Hartford Union High School on Tuesday, January 13. The Orioles played Arrowhead and both community members who attended the game raised a significant amount of money.

The funds will go to the Hall family of Hartford. Angie Hall, who has been a teacher at Hartford Union High School for 20 years, is navigating the challenges of ALS. Kristen Helms is a math teacher at Hartford Union High School and was one of the organizers. She told WTKM about Angie Hall. 

"My dear friend, she started to notice some changes in her health. She was diagnosed with ALS. It's a change that effects your motor neurons that impact your voluntary muscle. There is no cure. She has been a teacher in Hartford and has coached and advised various clubs. She certified our life guards and served on the safety team. She also decided to get certified to be an EMT. She is the epitome of service and unfortunately is unable to work." 

Angie Hall was named Teacher of the Year in 2019.

They raised $21,161.36 on Tuesday night.
