The event, in which players ride donkeys in a basketball game, has been an annual fundraising feature of the Anacortes Eagles, reassign as much as $2,000 per event, with some of the proceeds going to the food bank.
The Eagles said the 1,000 or so donkey basketball ticket-holders will be able to attend an alternate magic show at the Eagles hall in downtown Anacortes. Three magic shows have been set for Saturday afternoon.
