The Pella Christian Grade School will be raising money on Friday and Saturday with a softball marathon. Principal David DeJong says that in years past, they have raised around $60,000 dollars for the school in just 24 hours, through donations from local businesses. 22 players will play non-stop from 5 on Friday to 5 on Saturday, facing off against many teams, including students, teachers, and a team of players in full mascot costumes.
