What do NBA players Shawn Marion and Joe Johnson have in common?  They both support our team honoree, Aaron Scharf, and Team Challenge!

"We absolutely support Team Challenge and the team honoree, Aaron Scharf.  Aaron is a very special person to us and we need to find a cure for ulcerative colitis for people like him.  We know the pain he has gone through and it is critical to raise funds through a program like Team Challenge so Aaron does not have to suffer in the future.  We hope people will join the program to find a cure for our friend Aaron and the awful diseases people like him have to suffer with." - Shawn Marion (Toronto Raptors, formerly with Miami Heat) & Joe Johnson (Atlanta Hawks), NBA Players
