Our Mission is to find funds for training, education and support so that the causes of strokes, a leading and devbilitating cause of disability and death, can be prevented, and so that the often devastating after-effects of a stroke can be mitigated. In addition we will provide funds to promote youth programs that encourage healthy life styles.

Proceeds will be used for stroke awareness and active youth programs.  

The Classic has provided a venue for many players to demonstrate their skills and most of all, over $59,000 has been donated to our community.

In the coming year, proceeds from the Classic will sponsor the new youth swim team, the Magic Dribblers Fundamentals Basketball Camp, the Partners with Youth Program, a youth fitness program and a youth basketball league, all at the Lake Anna YMCA.  In addition, the Classic will help defray much of the cost for an Active Adult Stroke Awareness seminar and the Fitness Awareness Benefits Program for middle school students, through the Barberton parks and recreation Department.

This program is making and difference in out community!  I would like to invite you to help us continue to recognize what Jack Greynolds did for our school and community during his coaching tenure and to honor his true legacy, the many life lessons he taught us.
