Eli Bourgard (standing center) and his young sons Asher and Harry received almost $6,000 from the Kellogg Boys Basketball Program last week. The money was raised during a recent fundraiser for Bourgard's daughter Vivian, who is currently battling leukemia. Vivian was diagnosed last month and has been living in and out of the hospital in Spokane ever since.

KELLOGG — The Wildcat community rallied around some of its own recently, when the Kellogg High School Boys Basketball team turned a busy weekend into what has become known as the Live for Viv Fundraiser.
Last week, the Wildcat basketball players presented the Bourgard family with $5,826.95, all of which was raised through donations, 50/50 raffles and T-shirt sales during the team’s back-to-back home games against Grangeville and Orofino.
