On January 18, 2008, the Whitesboro boy’s basketball program hosted a pancake dinner to raise money for the Cystinosis Research Network. The dinner was part of the “Shoot for the Cure” night in honor of Mason Reed, nephew of Head Coach Shad Reed.

The Whitesboro boys also honored Mason as an honorary captain during the game. He was introduced into the starting lineup and given an autographed basketball. After that, he headed to the bench to help his uncle do some coaching. The night was a huge success with over $1000 dollars being raised for this worthy cause.

“It was great to see such a huge amount of support for my family tonight. We have great kids and a great community that are willing to help out in any way possible. I’m proud to be associated with this community and I’m very proud of the kids in our program,” said Shad Reed

Whitesboro is located about one hour north of Dallas, Texas. Mason resides in Bushland, Texas and is the son of Ryan and Kylene Reed. He attends kindergarten at Bushland Elementary where he is one of the top students in his class. He is also active in baseball, soccer, and basketball.
