Community support never goes out of style!

From pizza pies to full-court hustle, Rips Pizzeria and the Eastland Old Rips Granny Basketball team proved that teamwork really does make the dream work! A huge thank you to Hailey Sybesma, manager of Rips Pizzeria, for presenting this generous fundraiser check to Roma Holley, coach of the Eastland Old Rips Granny Basketball team, to help send the Grannies to the National Tournament in Iowa this July (Photo to the right).

We are beyond thankful for a partnership that serves up support as hot as the pizza and as strong as Granny defense! We also want to sincerely thank everyone who made generous cash donations during the fundraiser. Your support and kindness are greatly appreciated and will help our team represent our community at Nationals.

Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, and cheered us on. This community continues to show what small towns and big hearts can accomplish together!
