Last week Patrick and I went to the Kohl Center for a really unique event called "Make Bo Pay".
This is the second annual event that Coach Bo Ryan puts on in support of the American Cancer Society. He opens up the basketball court to any and all students. They pay $1 to enter - he matches it. Then they get the chance to shoot a free throw - if they make it - Bo donates $10. Then they get the chance to shoot a half court shot. If they make that, he donates $1,000!
Here is a photo of the students taking their shots.
We attended a simultaneous event where we got to watch the students but also taste wines paired with "tailgate food". We spent the evening in the Kohl Center suites enjoying the food and the entertainment.
Me and Rachel - a friend from college and a former ACS employee
And of course - we rarely go anywhere without running into someone from Fondy!
Dave is one of the co-chairs for the big Coaches vs. Cancer event each spring.
Hoping to get involved on that committee some day!
And the grand total after the event.
What an amazing event and generous coach!
