PUPILS at a Newton Aycliffe school have raised more than £150 for charity with a 24-hour basketball marathon.
The event, at Woodham Community Technology College, raised money for BBC Television's Children in Need appeal.
It was organised by year 11 student Georgina Baker, and the group comprised 20 year 11 pupils and one from year ten.
Staff, operating in three-hour relays, provided assistance through the night.
The event consisted of straightforward games of basketball, interspersed with a variety of shoot-out challenges and competitions.
