This years 24-hour PASS Basketball Marathon was another successful year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year the PASS (Paulding Area Support Society) Basketball 24 hour Marathon takes place in the Wayne Trace Payne Elementary gymnasium starting on Friday night and going through Saturday evening of Easter week. This year it was on April 19 and 20th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was significantly more teams than last year (88 vs 106) and that means more money was raised for those who can\u2019t play. The proceeds benefit those who are crippled and need assistance. Last year there was approximately $6500 vs last year\u2019s amount of $5000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Marathon was born after former Payne resident Jim Hooker\u2019s time at Bowling Green State University when he played in a similar 24-hour basketball charity fundraiser. Now 41 years later, the dream is still alive to help those in need in Paulding County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
