ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Jamesville-DeWitt has one of the best basketball programs in the state, but Sunday, the school's athletes took their hoops skills to the hardwood for a good cause.

JD held a Hoops for Haiti fundraiser, to bring in money for the Red Cross's efforts overseas. Students and staff teamed up to organize the event and say they were impressed with how many people turned out.

"I wasn't expecting a lot of people but we got a great turnout. A lot of support. I'm very happy our school is putting on this event it's a very good cause and I think the people of Haiti needed our support,” said Gabriel Williams, junior.

The school also sold Hoops for Haiti t-shirts as part of the fundraiser. They say that effort alone brought in hundreds of dollars as they sold out of more than 200 shirts.
