Thank You for Your Support

The 15th annual Joey Sykes 8th Grade Boys Basketball Tournament was a huge success, both as a fundraiser and a basketball competition. The tournament raised $4,125 for the Bear Necessities Foundation on behalf of Joey Sykes for Neuroblastoma research.  We are so proud of our 8th grade gold team and coaches on winning the gold division championship for the first time since 2009.   

Special Thanks to…all the teams that participated, including our 8th grade boys teams; the countless volunteers, especially the 7th grade families that hosted this event; the generous businesses that donated raffle items; St. Raymond parish and school for their support; Lincoln Middle School for the use of their wonderful gyms; and the students, past and present, who help keep Joey’s spirit alive.

And, of course, a huge thank you to Debbie, Joe, Jessica and Ashley Sykes for all of their help and inspiration throughout the tournament.

Congrats to Gold Division champion, St. Raymond, who beat St. Hubert in a thrilling championship game.
