And so that was the first iteration of Charlie's impact in our world post-death.

And that night, we had an enormous amount of attendance.

A lot of local families came in with their kids.

It was free entry for anyone eighth grade or under.

A huge number of people attended this women's basketball game.

It made an impact.

At the completion of this past year and the start of the season, we decided to do Bubba's Youth Day.

So another iteration of this, but instead of it just being the basketball game, we thought, you know what, let's again dream big.

They figured out a way to provide a

A mobile health exam for kids who are participating in sports that don't have access to physicians or pediatrics to have that opportunity for that health examination.
