1LT Joseph J. Theinert 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

The Joseph J. Theinert Memorial
Fund
is excited to announce that on Saturday, November 30, 2013 we will host
our Fourth Annual 1LT Joseph J. Theinert 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament at the
Shelter Island School Gymnasium.



When Joe made the ultimate
sacrifice on June 4, 2010 while serving his country during Operation Enduring
Freedom, his family created a foundation in his name as a way to ensure that he
would never be forgotten. Today, the Joseph J. Theinert Memorial Fund which
awards five annual scholarships at northeast academic institutions including Shelter
Island School, Mattituck-Cutchogue High School, and a student who has graduated
from a Long Island high school at SUNY Albany. The foundation also underwrites
programs and services that enrich the lives of United States Armed Forces
service members, veterans, and their families. 



Over the past three years, the
Tournament has become an East End tradition, with teams from all cross sections
of the community—full- and part-time resident families; teachers, students, and
alumni from Shelter Island, Greenport, Southold, Sag Harbor and the Ross
School; local businesses—coming together to spend the day raising money for
scholarships and remembering a dear friend. This year’s event will include:
