TOURNAMENT
5TH ANNUAL JARED ELLSWORTH CELEBRATION TOURNAMENT



    Jared Ellsworth courageously battled a complex heart disorder for 12 years.  His fight ended in August 2003 as he struggled to recover from a heart transplant. 

     This tournament was established to continue “Jared’s Style” of life.  To live in “Jared’s Style” is to celebrate every moment.  It is to live with passion, love, kindness, generosity and hope.  Whether it was a rousing game of hospital BINGO or with his school’s 5th grade basketball team Jared played hard, he played to win and he played to have fun. 

     For the fifth year, we continue to carry on “Jared’s Style” of life.  Through participation in Jared’s tournament you will support Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, LifeBanc (via education and organ registration) and Jared’s college basketball scholarships.

Please join us to celebrate “Jared’s Style” of life.
