SWSC News October 3, 2025
Sullivan High School’s King of the Court event was a huge success, raising an impressive $14,221 to support several important causes. Ten SHS boys participated in the fundraiser, with top earners Jaxon Zollman, Ty Hamilton, and King Hayden Weitekamp, who alone collected an outstanding $5,636.
All proceeds will benefit the Live Like Madi Fund, the Angie Melchert Scholarship, Lilly Holmes—a freshman volleyball player at Terre Haute South—and Riley Children’s Hospital.
A big thank you goes out to the SHS Volleyball Team for organizing the event and to everyone who contributed to making this night so meaningful. Your generosity is helping make a difference in the lives of others.
