The Haynes Fund produces few annual events to not only fund our mission, but also provide the same opportunity for young people that we look for in our other projects.
We encourage you to support events as patrons or sponsors providing the needed resources for our highly regarded projects. And have some fun too! -------------------------------------------------------------------
We host an annual basketball tournament for 5th and 6th grade boys and girls at Saints Simon and Jude Church. St Hedwig was the winning Boys team and Girls was from St John for 2018. We greatly appreciate all the volunteers who help with admissions, the raffle, kitchen, refereeing and all the other chores to make the tournament a huge success. We are grateful for the sponsors and especially Toyota Financial who has been the primary sponsor now for over fifteen years. In 2018 we honored the memory of the “Voice “at the tournament, Roger Weissenback, by awarding a good sportsmanship award to two deserving teams. Big Rog loved the game. He started each game with a prayer and he always recognized good sportsmanship when he saw it played out on the court.
All funds raised by the tournament go to support our mission to assist young people and their families reach their full potential. Over the last twelve months we have provided tuition assistance, grants to various organizations such as The Illumination Fund, Youth Mentoring Connection, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley and the St Francis Center.
We will be celebrating our 25th tournament in 2019 and hope to see you there.
