Harmon Field Basketball Court
Donation protected
UPDATE 2019-04-10
Many of you have come to know Mason over the past year through his efforts to rehab the open air basketball court at Harmon Field and this GoFundMe. It is with a heavy heart that I report Mason passed away on April 10, 2019. He was an amazing person, son, brother and friend. Our family will miss him dearly. We hope that you will continue to support the effort to beautify Harmon Field by making its basketball court a great place for kids like Mason to get together and enjoy life. To all of you who have donated so far - THANK YOU! To those seeing this campaign for the first time, PLEASE help all of us remember Mason and his desire to leave something for our community by lending your support.
Thank you,

Mason's original message follows:
Hello! I am raising money to revamp the open air gym at Harmon Field . I am a student at the Polk County Early College and this is my senior project. Many of you saw the great write up Leah Justice did on the project in the Tryon Daily Bulletin . Our aim is to resurface the floor, replace the goals, add a water fountain, and commission a mural to beautify the space and inspire those who visit. Tryon should have a basketball court that is safe and appealing for everybody. Together, we can all have a part in helping make sure this small part of our beautiful town lives up to its beautiful reputation.
