What is the Potter Cup?

In the fall of 2003 the athletic directors of Paxon Hollow Middle School and Haverford Middle School initiated an event which would display and promote the various talents that middle school students have to offer.  The event was an athletic competition involving the wrestling, girls’ basketball and boys’ basketball teams.  The school that won two of the three events would win the cup.  The first Potter cup was held in January of 2004 at Paxon Hollow and proved to be a huge success with attendance of over 1000 students and parents.  The second Potter Cup was hosted by Haverford last January and based on the success of the first year, the two schools decided to identify a charity for the event.  The schools chose Alex’s Lemonade Stand as that charity.  It was felt that Alexandra’s desire to find a cure for pediatric cancer, even as she fought to survive cancer, would be a cause that the students would embrace.  The second Potter Cup was an even greater success with approximately 2500 students and parents in attendance, raising over $ 20,000 for Alex’s Stand. The third Potter Cup raised over $35,000.
