Books vs. Badges to support Kitzerow family April 4

The fourth annual Books vs. Badges Charity Basketball Game is set to take place over the hardwood at the Northern Pines Fieldhouse on Friday, April 4.
Proceeds from the event, which raises money for local charitable causes, will go to benefit the Kitzerow family.

The funds raised will be donated on behalf of the Vilas County Deputy Sheriff’s Union Local 118.

This year, staff members of the Northland Pines, North Lakeland, Phelps, Arbor Vitae/Woodruff, and Lac du Flambeau school districts will take on law enforcement officials of the Vilas, Oneida, and Iron County Sheriff’s offices, along with members of the Eagle River, Lac du Flambeau, Rhinelander and Minocqua police departments.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with tip-off being at 7 p.m. Students get in for free and adult cost of entry will be $10.

For the past three years, the event has served as a North Woods community-centered activity where educators from area school districts and local law enforcement officials battle in a friendly game of basketball for a charitable cause.
