SagerStrong Foundation’s March Mania at The Zone
The SagerStrong Foundation hosted its first annual March Mania at The Zone at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Scottish Rite Campus, on March 24th. The Foundation and The Zone partnered together to bring the magic and excitement of March Madness to the hospital for a memorable afternoon of basketball, food and fun to take the young patients’ minds off their treatment, and make them smile.
March was always a special time for Craig Sager, the Hall of Fame sports reporter who covered playoff basketball for the NBA, as well as a host of other sports over his 42-year career. Craig criss-crossed the country in the spring each year, bringing fans an up-close look at the NBA players on the court. The SagerStrong Foundation wanted to continue to celebrate this special time, in honor of Craig, and to remember his work while mixing in some fun in “SagerStyle,” during the NCAA’s March Madness.
The children enjoyed pizza, cookies, crafts, games and even a “SagerStrong Shootout” on the basketball court at The Zone where they competed for fun prizes — and were cheered on by cheerleaders, volunteers and Stinger, the Georgia Swarm mascot. They also played NBA2k, did basketball themed crafts, and enjoyed pizza from Tandoori Pizza and cookies from Tiff Treats, all in the spirit of the march to the Final Four and the NCAA National Basketball Championship! Each participant received a mini red/white and blue basketball, courtesy of the Globetrotters, and a medal. We can not wait until next year!!!
