Sam Welter, age 9, was diagnosed with a form of viral meningitis in late August. He spent weeks at Cincinnati Children’s in the PICU, where he had to be intubated and sedated until his medical team was able to reduce the swelling on his brain. Thankfully, Sam overcame the life-threatening virus and was discharged from the hospital recently, but will undergo therapy. A portion of the proceeds will also go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and a scholarship endowment at LaSalle High School.

In 2016, Tony Even was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma stage 3ES. The first Tony’s Fight on the Court fundraiser was organized by Tony’s family and friends to help alleviate the burden of his medical bills. The event was a success, and after undergoing many treatments, Tony is now cancer free. In appreciation, Tony and his family wanted to continue the event, but pass the proceeds on to help other deserving families dealing with a major illness like cancer.    How does the 3v3 tournament run? Kids will be assigned to a team consisting of up to 5 players. Each team will play at least three 12-minute games. The top scoring teams will advance to the final game within their age group. View the Official Tournament Rules   Can I register a whole team? Or can my child be placed on a team with their friends? Registered players will be divided up into teams based on age group and gender. At player check-in, your child will get their team assignment and T-shirt based on team color. We do put a lot of effort into keeping kids from the same grade school on the same team so your child will know at least one person on their team, but we cannot guarantee they'll be placed with requested friends. We do promise they will have plenty of time to hang out with friends and have a good time!    How will I know what time games are? Game schedules will be posted the day of the event at La Salle. We ask that you arrive between 4 - 4:30 p.m for check-in and the opening ceremony. The first games should begin at 5:30 p.m. Depending on the number of teams will determine the times of the last games.  The Welter Family: Cooper, Max, Brody, Sam, Melissa & Roman Sam Welter
