Help Us Keep the Spirit of the Naar Classic Alive

The Naar Classic Foundation was created to honor the life of Jacob "Jake" Naar and to continue the tradition that has brought our community together year after year.

Jake was an incredible friend, teammate, son, brother, and community member whose kindness, energy, and ability to bring people together left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. After his unexpected passing in 2021, friends and family came together to create the Annual Naar Classic basketball tournament as a way to celebrate his life and support causes that mattered.

What started as a single event has grown into a powerful community tradition. Through the support of local businesses, volunteers, players, and donors, the tournament has raised thousands of dollars for the Jacob Naar Scholarship Fund, helping local students pursue their educational goals.

Today, the Naar Classic Foundation exists to expand that impact. Our mission is to bring people together through community events, scholarships, and charitable initiatives that create opportunities for others while honoring Jake's memory.

Your donation directly supports:
• The Jacob Naar Scholarship Fund
• Community-based charitable programs and events
• Event costs that allow us to maximize funds directed toward our mission
• Future initiatives that benefit local students and families

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue building something meaningful from the friendships, memories, and community connections that inspired the Naar Classic.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us create opportunities for others. Together, we can continue bringing people together, supporting students, and making a lasting difference in our community.

No Bad Days.
