Barbara H O’Connor Boys Basketball Award

Barbara O’Connor was a staple of the Ketcham community for over 30 years organizing the booster club, serving as scorekeeper and running the concession stand with perfection. Every student involved in Ketcham baseball and basketball benefited from her passion and enthusiasm and she was known as “Aunt Barbara” to hundreds of students. She loved the sport but most of all she loved the kids. She will never be replaced.

Every year, “Aunt Barbara” did a wonderful closing ceremony where each student and their parents would walk in and the player would be presented with a gift from the program. She said that this was going to be her final season (who knows if she actually would’ve let herself walk away). Please help us to give her the sendoff that she deserves and let her continue to give to the players she loved.

This is a fund to be given out annually to provide financial support to a deserving student athlete.
