GREAT day for Bearcat Athletics today with the Bearcat Open golf scramble! Thanks to the generosity of MANY players and donors, we were able to raise over $9,000 in profit for our kids! I can’t say enough THANK YOUS to all who participated, and more importantly to the volunteers who worked many hours to make this event possible! Couldn’t have done it without Stacie Wright Forward, Christy Goins, Jerry Miller, Kathy Williams Adamonis, Christine Lajoie, Jen Bentley and Brooke VandePolder.
It’s always amazing to me how generous people are when it comes to doing good things for our kids! Thank you to ALL who gave today!!

Dear Wes,
My heart is a grateful one this morning because of yours. On behalf of Battle Creek Public Schools, I accepted an AED donation from your mom and your basketball coach to keep at our football stadium. Because you lived, coaches all over Michigan have a heightened awareness around having this type of equipment available in case of an emergency. I would like to thank you for making it possible for our school to be chosen for this donation.
Also, just wanted to tell you that I am impressed at the way you continue to bring people together. I received the donation and your annual golf outing, and it might have been one of the largest I have ever seen! I even got to meet Bill Simonson from the Huge Show! People were having fun, smiling, hugging and maybe most importantly, opening their wallets to support your cause! Not because you’re gone, but because you’re memory, influence, impact are still alive. I hope my life impacts people the same way that yours has.
One more thing. I’m sure you know this, but your mom is very proud of you.
Gratefully,
Coach Granger
Battle Creek Central Football
P.S. for the rest of you who may be reading this, if you are curious about Wes’ story and/or thankful for this gift, please consider making a donation at www.wesleonardheartteam.org.

Really feeling the love today! Jr Bearcat Camp begins MONDAY, and last night I received a call from alum Kent Peterson telling me that he had collected funds from a group of other alumni and friends to offer SEVERAL SCHOLARSHIPS to kids in our community that want to attend camp but don’t have the funds available right now. SO… parents… if you are in this boat… please send me a pm and I will make sure your player gets registered for FREE! Obviously, limited number available so first come, first serve. MUST be a BCPS student to receive scholarship, as this is alumni money being used.
Special THANKS to the group of hard working men that are generously ensuring that the next generation of Bearcats get the same opportunities to love the game that they had!
I continue to be amazed at the generosity of my community!!
