Support the Vasquez Family in Honour of Riahne Vasquez "Chuck"

The Central Coast basketball community is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Riahne Vasquez, a young, gifted, and deeply loved member of the Waves Basketball family. Riahne was more than just a talented athlete—he was a vibrant, kind-hearted young man whose passion for the game and respect for his teammates left an unforgettable mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

As we come to terms with this unimaginable loss, we are rallying together as one community to support the Vasquez family during this painful time. No family should ever have to endure such tragedy, and our hope is that this fundraiser can ease some of the financial pressures they now face—allowing them the space and support they need to grieve, heal, and honour Riahne’s memory.

All funds raised will go directly to the Vasquez family to assist with immediate and ongoing expenses during this incredibly difficult period.

Riahne’s legacy—his work ethic, warmth, and love for basketball—will live on in the hearts of his teammates, coaches, and the wider Central Coast community. By uniting to support his family, we honour the impact he made both on and off the court.

Whether you knew Riahne personally or have just heard about his impact in the basketball community, your support means the world to his family.

Even if you can‘t contribute financially, sharing this page with others would be a huge help.

His family appreciate every bit of support, whether it‘s a donation, a share, or a kind word.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.

Together, we can help lift up a family who has given so much to our community.
