Aaron Klinger Memorial Basketball Tournament

Aaron's friends organized a basketball tournament in Aaron's memory to raise money for his scholarship fund. Here are some pictures from the day...


Aaron's friend drew this picture of Aaron....it was made into a t-shirt

a collage postcard

a teary moment in the tournament...the guys on Aaron's high school basketball team played together in the tournament, and they bought Aaron a jersey and gave it to my dad and asked him to play the first minute of the game in place of Aaron

another t-shirt that they had made for the tournament

a cute boy I found wandering around the tournament :)

a high-five for Nana

Avery and Callan did so well at the tournament...neither of them had naps that day!

Dad almost made the first shot of the game

the back of the t-shirt

a moment of laughter

another teary moment...everyone at the tournament signed
a basketball and they gave it to my parents


my brother's teammates huddle up after the game for a moment of reflection

the team and our family (you can see Callan had his pjs on and had passed out in my arms by this point)...by the way, the team came in 2nd place!
