The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh men’s basketball team is holding its second-annual “Shooting it for Luke” fundraising event Wednesday, Jan. 31, at its home game against UW-Platteville.

The “Shooting it for Luke” event is set for 7 p.m. at Kolf Sports Center. All proceeds from the night will go directly to the Fox Valley Brain Coalition. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase an official “Shooting it for Luke” T-shirt for $10, enter to win raffle prizes and participate in other activates to support the cause.

Last year’s event raised $1,040 for the Fox Valley Brain Coalition.

The event honors Luke Peters, a freshman at St. Mary Central High School in Neenah, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor one week before his sixth birthday. Peters was adopted by the Titans men’s basketball team four years ago when he was in fifth grade through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation (FOJ).

Peters has his own locker in the Titans locker room, and has sat on the bench during many of the Titans home games and been a part of pregame prep and halftime adjustments over the previous four seasons.
