STILL HERE BASKETBALL, INC.

REPORTS SUCCESSFUL EVENTS
AND DISTRIBUTES FUNDS


STILL HERE is a 501 (3)(c) charitable organization. Profits from events are used to support financially-challenged youth basketball players who require extra help to meet pay-for-pay requirements. Funds are also designated for recognized charities such as The American Cancer Society and The Kidney Foundation. 

Recent fundraising included two very successful events:

• The annual Still Here Charity 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament which this year raised $4,139.75.

• The annual Still Here Charity Golf Outing which raised $3,747.50 in 2013.

Still Here Basketball, Inc. distributed, during its recent golf outing, $1,000 to the American Cancer Society (photo below showing John Takacs making the presentation to ACS’s Kristy Kalnitzky); and $1,000 to the Kidney Foundation of Medina (photo: John Takacs and Jean Holland). 



Additional funds have been distributed, during the past year, to sponsor AAU athletes, teams in local tournaments such as Hoop “N’ Que, and student athletes at Buckeye. Selection of  athletes is made on the basis of financial need --- a process guided by local athletic directors.

Thank you to all who have made this possible.
