The 25th Annual Charity Basketball Event
Join us for a full day of fun that goes to a great cause.
The Shannon Daley Memorial Fund is proud to announce its 25th Annual Charity Basketball Event. The Readington Teachers and Hunterdon Central Teachers will once again take on the world-renowned Harlem Wizards.
The Harlem Wizards are one of the greatest basketball show-team organizations to ever “lace it up and let ’em fly.” The Harlem Wizards’ performance offers a rare combination of individual athleticism, teamwork, and entertainment to delight fans of all ages.
The Shannon Daley Memorial Fund mission is to assist local families facing financial hardship due to a child battling a serious illness. Our first recipient is 18-year- old Ella Ziolkowski from Hillsborough who has Spina Bifida and Chiari Malformation Type II . Our second recipient is 3-year-old Aleesha Nistico from Clinton who has Rett Syndrome. Our third recipient is 3-year-old Thomas Price from Long Valley who has High-Risk Neuroblastoma with metastasis. Our other recipients have yet to be selected.

How We Use Donations
Paying Medical Expenses
Times can be tough, and when you’re trying to be strong for your children, it can be quite a challenge to stay afloat financially. We want to help Readington Township families and their sickly children so that they may live a wonderful life.
Improving Quality of Life
Sometimes something small can make a big impact. Whether it’s retrofitting a van or buying a child a wheelchair, we try to help our recipients in ways that can most make their lives easier.
Help Parents do What They Do Best.
It’s not easy to be a parent, and everyone could use a helping hand. Coupled with a serious illness of your child, a family can be saddled with a host of problems- finance issues, stress, and more. We are here to help Readington Township residents, and one of the ways we have done so is by paying mortgages to allow a parent to stay home with their sick child. It’s hard to stay afloat, and we understand.
