It’s with great excitement that we announce that this year’s Fall, Fashion & Fitness Fundraiser will be held in Eugene’s own McArthur Court or “Mac Court“. This University of Oregon basketball arena was the original home of the Oregon Ducks men’s and women’s basketball teams.
In 2001 Sporting News named it “best gym in America” and for its history, character, and atmosphere, sports writer and arena researcher Bill Kintner named McArthur Court in his top five of college basketball arenas in America. He notes that McArthur Court “is a building that will give you chills even if there is no game being played.”
Many talented players have called the court home over the years including Ron Lee, and we are ecstatic to share that Ron will be a guest at this year’s event, supporting Healthy Moves and conducting a free throw competition to help raise money for our programs! Here he is pictured with Denise Thomas and our emcee Storm Kennedy scouting out the location and planning the competition!
If you or your company would like to contribute, we’re looking for donations of prizes for our silent and online auctions and raffles held during the event. We’re also looking for donations for our popular wine packages and other popular and easy to give items include gift cards, swag, memorabilia, etc.
Any and all donations are happily accepted and greatly appreciated! You can arrange pick-up or drop-off by leaving a message at the office at 541-632-2541 or emailing info@hm4kids.org.
