About:
Every year, we host a basketball game in honor of the Joseph Middlemiss Big Heart Foundation. It is always against close rival Methuen HS, as the coaches are related to Joseph.
Joseph’s parents are from Dracut and have made such a significant impact on spreading love and kindness in memory of Joseph. Joseph passed away due to a heart condition but was the sweetest and kindest superhero and Beatles music-loving young boy who loved and is loved by so, so many in our community and surrounding areas.
This year, the girls sold donation cards to family and friends leading up to the event. In addition to the cards, which were proudly displayed upon entering the gym, the girls promoted the game and invited our youth players to attend.
All proceeds from the game were donated to the organization, including a raffle that was held. The girls and coaches wore superhero socks and played Beatles music throughout the evening.
It was a special way to honor Joseph and donate to a great cause!
