The
$5.00 admission will get you into all four games. All proceeds from the game
will go to the Mike Fitzgerald Memorial Fund, which awards scholarships and
bursaries to deserving high school graduates to assist with their post-secondary
education.
The
Mike Fitzgerald Memorial Fund is named in honor of Mike Fitzgerald, who played
basketball for both high schools in the city, and lost his battle with brain
cancer in 2008.
Administered
by the Fredericton Community Foundation, the fund was set up to repay the
support that the Fitzgerald family received during Mike’s illness. Each year
the fund distributes bursary and scholarship funds to support deserving
students at both Leo Hayes and Fredericton High. The Fund has also helped
some young basketball players with registration and provincial team expenses
when financial support is needed.
