A benefit has been organized to show support for a Becker basketball coach recently diagnosed with brain cancer.
Brian Kuseske, known by all as Coach K, is the Becker boys ninth grade coach and has been for the last five years.
Members of the Becker basketball program and players’ parents have organized a benefit at the high school gym and commons areas March 9 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. There will be a dinner, games and a silent auction.
Brian was honored at Tuesday’s boy’s basketball game where hundreds of his supporters donned blue t-shirts that said, “Coach K, Never Give Up.” It was also parent’s night.
Brian has had two surgeries to remove a mass in his brain. He has other treatments ensuing and his medical bills are accumulating.
Tickets for the benefit can be purchased for $10 through Community Education or from a couple parents (Kelly Mittelstaedt, Jen Callahan and Patty Lindbom). Mittelstaedt can be reached at 612-747-9052, Callahan at 763-370-8628 and Lindbom at 763-218-5354.
