Duke Children’s VIP Reception with Jon and Marcelle Scheyer with a Private Practice with Duke Men’s Basketball for Fourth season of Duke Children’s Charity Stripe Challenge
Duke Children’s held a VIP Reception with Jon and Marcelle Scheyer with a Private Practice with Duke Men’s Basketball on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at Cameron Indoor Stadium and in the Champions Club. The event was part of promoting the fourth season of Duke Children’s Charity Stripe Challenge. Patient Ambassadors, Philanthropy Ambassadors and Leadership Council including Ann Reed, Chair, Department of Pediatrics, and John Paat, Associate Chief Medical Officer for Quality and Safety, were on hand as part of the experience.
Duke Head Men’s Basketball Coach Jon Scheyer gave a team overview and season outlook speech. Scheyer answered a half dozen questions from VIPs, signed memorabilia for the VIPs, and had a photo taken with each VIP. The highlight of the event was the actual men’s basketball practice where the fans got to see the team practice and then join them on the court to get autographs.
This year’s Patient Ambassadors are Bella, Harper, Macon, and Violet. Violet was unable to make the event.
