Endeavour Ipswich Basketball is holding the fourth annual Makenna' Williams Memorial Game on Thursday 30 July at Copleston Sports Centre, Ipswich and we would love to see as many people there as possible. The entry fee of £5 per person will also be added to this fundraising effort. If you are unable to attend the event please donate and help us to help Endeavour Ipswich Basketball Club give the chance to other children to benefit from all the club has to offer as Makenna' did – there is no doubt that this basketball club changes lives.

Makenna' sadly passed away on 29th June 2022. She was kind, generous, empathetic, funny and was an absolute delight to be around and had a lasting impact on everyone who met her and we miss her enormously. She was passionate about basketball and from the age of 11 Makenna' belonged to the Ipswich Basketball family who not only enabled her to play but also provided support, and a nurturing environment, within which she thrived both as a player and a young person. By default, that meant that the Williams family became part of the Ipswich Basketball family and we want to make sure that we can give back to the club that gave so much to Makenna and to us.

That’s why we want to raise much needed funds for the club and the annual Makenna' Williams Memorial Game is the perfect way for us to do this. We are, and will always be, so grateful for the Club and we want to continue to show our support for it too as we remain very involved in the club and will always be IBC family.

Last year over £3000 was raised which enabled Endeavour Ipswich Basketball Club to create a much needed hardship fund to support young players who have needed financial assistance to be able to continue playing basketball. This year we are determined to raise more and for that money to do more!

All donations will go directly to the club which is absolutely what Makenna' would want.

Thank you,

the Williams Family
