The one of a kind tie-die tshirts were hand-dyed by a couple of awesome PTK volunteers and are available in a nice range of sizes.

There are terrific baseball caps and some wild color-changing cups. Chilly lately? Pick up a nice Blackhawks zipper sweatshirt!

St. Michael's Basketball Honoring Michaelann Perea

The St. Michael's High School Basketball Team is playing on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 and this game will honor Michaelann Perea. Michaelann's sons Caleb and Jayden play on the team and her husband Israel is the JV Coach. Coincidentally, it’s two days after her birthday. As you know, Michaelann was a huge part of the Carlos Gilbert community and the folks at St. Michael's would like to give everyone the opportunity to come out and support her loving family.

The team has been selling MP shirts as a fundraiser. On the front you will see MP with a heart over the left chest and D UP! on the back; that was Michaelann's cheer! She could always get the crowd going.

If you decide you would like one of the tshirts, please contact Celina Meyer (505-930-0624) to see what's available. You'll be able to pay with cash, Venmo or make a check payable to St. Michael's Boys Basketball Team.

If you don't plan on purchasing a shirt but plan on attending the game, please wear white for this Whiteout Game and in honor of Michaelann!
