Team Brenda

6 years ago, we lost a dear family friend, Brenda Hopper, to brain cancer. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and loved by so many. On November 12th, I’m participating in the A Shot For Life Gauntlet which is a marathon basketball event to raise money for cancer research. I will be be playing in a 24 hour basketball game (with breaks of course), and I will be playing in honor of Brenda and her family. There are so many other great participants in this game who are doing their part to raise money and awareness.

To be part of this fundraiser, I was asked to raise $1,000, but I am reaching out to you to help me surpass that goal. Please help me raise money and awareness for brain cancer research. Help me honor Brenda in the way she deserves!

There is no donation that is too small. Anything will help! Let's do our part for all of those affected by cancer each day!

The A Shot For Life Gauntlet is a 24 hour marathon basketball event that is meant to be loosely symbolic of the struggle that cancer patients much endure in their fight against cancer. Since 2017, hundreds of players have put on the ASFL Gauntlet exclusive black and white jersey and gone up and down the floor with the cancer community on their back. The ASFL Gauntlet is open to all ages and skill levels with intense, moderate, casual, and beginner floors playing at once in the Starland Sportsplex.

NO BRAKES DIVISION (4 Hours): The No Brakes Division is the newest addition to the ASFL Gauntlet. Our No Brakes players will play, almost non-stop, for a 4-hour sprint. At the completion of the 4 hours, our players will receive a completion medal. Our No Brakes players are welcome to remain at the facility for as long as they want and they may step into the Black Ops Division in the role of an as-needed substitute.

BLACK OPS DIVISION (24 Hours): The ASFL Black Ops Division is the traditional ASFL Gauntlet where players will play, with long break times fit in, for 24 consecutive hours. The ASFL Black Ops players will have access to our medical staff, will receive catered food, will have access to a lodging area for sleep shifts, and they will receive an “ASFL Black Ops” exclusive jersey.

Sign up individually or as a group! The ASFL Gauntlet is open to all ages and all skill levels. Previous players have ranged in experience from professional basketball players to participants that have never played basketball before but want to go up and down the court for a great cause!
