A huge thank you to the generosity of the Kelley Lalley Fund for their donation to the Michael C. Birmelin Youth Athletic Memorial Fund, and to AG Howell and his incredible team for putting on Bubba’s Camp this week.

What a blessing it was to see a gym full of kids eager to grow… not just as basketball players, but as teammates, leaders, and people of character.

I can’t help but picture my dad the night before camp, laying out his clothes, waking up before the sun, and being the first one at the gym. He’d be waiting at the door with high fives, fist bumps, a few loud chants, and the kind of pep talks that made every kid feel like they mattered.

Bubba would have loved seeing that gym filled with laughter, hard work, and so many young athletes chasing something bigger than the game itself.

Thank you to every family, volunteer, coach, and donor who made this week possible. Your generosity is helping invest in the next generation of athletes in Wayne County, and that is a legacy worth celebrating. ❤️🏀
