This sports event honors the memory of Seth Fingerman whose greatest passion was sharing his love of basketball with kids. Our son and brother Seth Fingerman (known as BamBam) was 25 when he committed su***de this December, depressed over his health (brain tumor) and his personal life. Basketball was his passion, and he always wanted to have a positive impact on young kids through basketball. He had played basketball in Jr College but health problems stopped him before he could become a coach. We picked AG Gaston Boys and Girls Clubs in Birmingham, AL (our home town) for memorial donations, and they suggested a basketball tournament as a tribute to Seth's exceptional life and impact. He was known for his good sportsmanship and fair play. AG Gaston Boys and Girls Clubs inspire and enable young people of the Birmingham metro area, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring adults. They do this through sports, fine arts, camps and leadership programs. How You Can Help:
