COLUMBUS, Ohio – Club Trillion T-shirts are now available by making a $20 donation to A Kid Again. Ohio State Men’s Basketball player Mark Titus partnered with A Kid Again, a non-profit for children with life threatening illnesses, to produced Club Trillion T-shirts. All proceeds from the Club Trillion project will help children with life threatening illnesses to be … A Kid Again.
For the past 12 years, the Ohio State Men’s Basketball program and A Kid Again have partnered each summer to provide a fun-filled Ohio State Basketball clinic for boys with life threatening illnesses and their fathers. The boys and their fathers are treated just like the Ohio State players for a day. The boys’ names are on a locker in the Ohio State locker room and inside are an OSU shirt, shorts and a basketball. Once the boys are geared up, they sit down for a team meeting with the players and coaches. Then, the players host a mini-clinic teaching the boys how to dribble, shoot free-throws, shoot 3-pointers and even play defense. After participating in this event, Titus was moved to help provide funding for these special children.
“A Kid Again is able to provide year-round hope and fun for our kids and their families because of the creativity, caring and support of people like Mark Titus,” said Jeff Damron, CEO of A Kid Again. “His unique orations on his Club Trillion blog remind us that we are all empowered to choose our view of life … either one of defeat and disappointment or victory against the odds. We urge everyone to follow Mark’s blog and join the team by making a donation to A Kid Again and proudly wear your Club Tril Tee for all to see.”
