The events will honor the late Jack Greynolds who died in 2004. He coached high school basketball for 29 seasons, the last 17 with the Barberton Magics. He retired in 1987 after suffering a stroke.
Proceeds will be donated to the Lake Anna YMCA and those organizations working in a collaboration with the YMCA for stroke awareness and youth programs.  The 2007 Greynolds Classic donated $22,400.00 to this cause, bringing to date a grand total of $59,000.00 in donations.

With the opening of the Lake Anna YMCA, three new programs, sponsored by proceeds from the Greynolds Classic, have been introduced:

  • A "Magic Dribblers" program was established by the YMCA to teach boys and girls basic basketball handling skills.  This program was offered in January and February with 30 participants.
  • The Active Adult Center, in collaboration with health insurance companies and Barberton Hospital will be offering a two-part Stroke Awareness Seminar designed to discuss stroke prevention, standard treatments and information to deal with loved ones who have suffered a stroke.
  • An Active and Healthy Lifestyles program for middle school students will be offered by the Parks and Recreation Department.  This program will begin this spring and is designed to promote participation in life time activities, exercise, proper eating habits and making healthy choices.

Individual and corporate sponsorship packages are available for the K. Jack Greynolds Memorial Classic.
