BAYSHORE — With Christmas just over a week away, the Marquette men’s and women’s basketball teams got into the holiday spirit a few days early.
Dec. 12, both basketball teams and Kohl’s teamed up to help students at Milwaukee-based St. Catherine’s Catholic Elementary School check off items from their holiday lists during a “Shopping with the Golden Eagles” event.
“This is a season of just giving and to be able to allow our kids to experience that in the flesh is amazing,” St. Catherine Catholic Elementary School principal Jade Cottrell said.
Over 50 students, ranging from first through sixth grade, each received a $200 gift card — $100 from Kohl’s and $100 from Marquette Basketball and Town Bank — to partake in the free in-store shopping spree at Kohl’s Bayshore location.
