Aurora Helps with Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation Benefit Basketball Tournament
Today was an event all of us at Aurora have been thinking about, anticipating and looking forward to for the past few weeks, as my brother, Derek Johnson (who runs Aurora's research & analysis business) helped organize (with Charley Anderson, an Aurora alumnus, curiously enough) the Inaugural Friends of David Busta Basketball Tournament to Benefit the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
The day was great fun - I made a step forward in my food-service career by volunteering in the snack bar, while Derek, Charley and about 60 other guys played three forty-minute basketball games. I think they were all pretty tired out. (I didn't play because I didn't want to show off... er, well anyhow, with all that throwing and running and stuff, I probably wouldn't have fared well.) The picture above is, left to right, Derek, David Busta and Charley - read the story in the local paper for more info:

First annual David Busta Basketball Benefit
It was a great success in the end - over $16,000 raised to help fund spinal cord and paralysis research. And, that's enough to make any big brother - or boss - awfully proud. ;-)
