About:
Jess played at NDA and coached for many years and as stated, unfortunately, lost her life to breast cancer after a very courageous battle with breast cancer. During Jess’ time coaching, she taught our girls so much more than the sport of basketball. NDA basketball teams up annually with South Shore SNAP (Special Needs Athletic Partnership) and our girls “coach” children with special needs who have an interest in basketball. This relationship and collaboration was started by Jess years ago and continuing that is important to our program.
Through basketball, we raise funds each year to provide a scholarship in Jess’ name, ‘JBA Scholarship’ to a deserving student-athlete at NDA. The girls raise money each year to be put towards the scholarship funds.
It’s important for our program to remember Jess and her legacy.
This year we raised funds for a scholarship in Jessica Bradbury Adams’ name by:
- A bake sale – all pink items
- Charging admission
- Selling t-shirts
All in all, the varsity team (10 student-athletes) raised approximately $3,000 for the scholarship.
