On June 18, 2010 the 3rd Annual Eric Bassett Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament and Auction Fundraiser will be held. The $20,000 student college scholarship, awarded each year, is given in honor of Eric Bassett, a Cy-Falls High honor student and top athlete who was tragically killed in 2007.  

Eric’s parents, Ana and Eric Bassett, formed the non-profit behind the scholarship in honor of Eric’s life, achievements, and potential.


100 Miles. A missing toenail, knee pain, and asthma. This sounds like a mixture for disaster but Rich Reaves, a local resident and campus pastor for Northland Christian School in Houston, is ready for the challenge. Reaves will be running in the Rocky Racoon 100-Mile Ultramarathon in Huntsville, TX on February 6 with a goal to raise $7500 to build clean water wells in underdeveloped countries.

Rich is confident that he will make it past the finish line, not because it will be easy, but because he is committed to pushing through. “The race really becomes mental. You go through your battles in the race and keep going, just like in life.” This is more than just a run for Reaves who can no longer run on pavement due to health problems; this run is spiritual and emotional for him. He puts on his iPod, listening to worship music as he runs “alone” and knows that each step he takes is for a greater purpose. This time to raise money to fund water projects in developing countries through ‘MyCharity: Water.’
