As we wrap up NBA All-Star Weekend and head into the Conference basketball tournaments and prepare for full-scale March Madness, people seem to be coming out in greater numbers. With more people vaccinated and improved weather in most parts of the country, optimism appears on the horizon. We hope that the worst part is behind us as we move forward to overcome the damage caused by the year-long COVID pandemic. Sports continues to lead the way to make changes in communities and support the health and wellness of children, teachers, athletes, coaches and beyond. We encourage everyone to remain diligent so that we can get back to our regular pace of life and enjoy the sporting activities that we love.
Have a great week! Roy
