WHEELING — Members of Wheeling’s Police and Fire departments will hang up their handcuffs and hoses for one evening and slip on basketball shorts and shoes. The two departments will take to the hardwood in a charity basketball game slated for 7 p.m. Thursday at WesBanco Arena.
All proceeds from the game will benefit the family of the late Ella Raddish.
Ella Raddish, 4-year-old daughter of the Wheeling Police Department Sgt. Josh Raddish, had battled a rare condition called myelodysplastic syndromes, a group of cancers in which immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature or become healthy blood cells. Ella passed away in February by what doctors described as a superbug with the combination of influenza and streptococcus pneumoniae.
Tickets for the charity game are $10 and can be purchased at WesBanco Arena, the police department, 2115 Chapline St., or fire department headquarters at 2126 Market St.
Police officers hitting the court include Ryan Moore, Josh Sanders, Cody Schwertfeger, Cayden Hennen, Zach Herron, Cory Rager, Brandon Stanley, John Wolf, Doug Somerville, Kevin Kuca, Collin Jamison and Robert Kovalyk.
From the fire department, Kody Geisel, Clayton Dietrich, Cory Becker, Dan Gordon, Andrew Yahn, Phillip Namlik, Josh Dent, Mo Khan, Abraham Winter, Thomas Haluscak, Adam Twardoski and Mike Haney will participate in the roundball contest.
