THANK YOU!!

Thank you to all who participated in the 2010 Brian Avery Memorial 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament! Once again, we were full to capacity and Loyola's gym was brimming with basketball players! Over 220 boys and girls from 19 different schools participated (St Francis, St Joe's, St A's, FHC, Sacred Heart, Highcrest, St Norbert, St Joan of Arc, Holy Cross, Sunset Ridge, Wilmette Junior High, Chute Middle School, Queen of all Saints, St Thomas of Canterbury, Near North Montessori, Daniel Wright Junior High School, Springman Middle School, OLPH, and St Petronille!!).

As anyone who has ever been to the tournament can attest, this day cannot happen without the generosity of more than 50 volunteers who give hours of their time to sign kids in, sell delicious treats, referee games, keep score, run the clock and help clean up. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART FOR YOUR KINDNESS!!

And finally, through entry fees and the generosity of many who gave donations, we are grateful to be able to send $17,000 to Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus!!

Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus

As many of you know, all money raised in the Brian Avery Memorial 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament benefits Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus (The Sacred Heart of Jesus High School) in Cartago, Costa Rica.

I am attaching a brochure here that describes the school. In an effort to save paper, we will not be printing the brochures this year. If you care to make a donation, you may write a check to either The Brian Avery Memorial or Asociacion San Miguel Arcangel (the governing body of the school).

Once again, thank you so much for helping us support this beautiful school.Download 3 on 3 brochure 2010
