Today is more than just a game.

What started as an idea has turned into something truly special for the Great Lakes Bay Region — a night where athletes, local celebrities, and our community come together for something bigger than basketball.

This event isn’t just about highlights and competition — it’s about impact.

We are proud to shine a light on the B #4 Foundation — an organization committed to promoting mental health awareness and su***de prevention through education, outreach, and community connection. Founded in honor of Braden “Brady” Hessbrook, their mission is rooted in making sure no one feels alone and that real conversations continue beyond tonight.

From former pros and college standouts to media personalities and hometown favorites… they’re all stepping on the court for a purpose — to give back, to inspire, and to support something that truly matters.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the unexpected passing of Jack Servis on April 14.

Jack was scheduled to volunteer his time as a referee for this year’s Great Lakes Bay Area Celebrity Game, a reflection of his continued commitment to serving the community he cared so much about. He was a longtime and highly respected official whose presence left a lasting impact on athletes, coaches, and fellow officials across the region.

More than that, Jack was someone who brought joy to those around him. He was always good for a laugh, and his sense of humor and ability to make people smile will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Servis family and all who are grieving this loss.
