Baskets for Bradentm
is a on going fund-raising campaign to help find a cure for Juvenile (type 1) Diabetes.Throughout the
year there will be different fund-raiser's held around the greater Pittsburgh area, the main fundraiser for
this campaign is held in conjunction with Duquesne University's Men's Basketball home game season annually. The
premise is to have individual people or businesses co-sponsor a game and to have a Business be a Title Sponsor for the
entire season and match all the co-sponsors contributions during the season. There were 15 home games for
the 2007 - 2008 season, and we are proud to say that all 15 were co-sponsored for the year. The
total amount raised during the 07-08 season was $18,000.00. Coach Ron Everhart and
Braden's Parents would like to thank all of those who contributed to the campaign and made our first year a
success.
Sponsorship spots for the up comming 2008-2009 season are going fast.For
