A glow‑in‑the‑dark wiffle ball tournament held in Weston, Wisconsin, drew dozens of participants and spectators last month, uniting the community around a cause that hit close to home.
A Fundraiser With Purpose
Organizers presented three checks: $3,000 earmarked for a scholarship in Bohn’s name, $4,331 allocated to internet‑crime awareness efforts, and $17,325.62 directed to the Community Foundation for the Kennedy Park Renovation Project.
The largest portion of the funds is slated for Phase 1 of the park’s renovation, specifically the installation of lights at Rajek Field within Kennedy Park. The illumination will honor Bohn’s memory and provide a safer space for youth sports.
The initiative also reflects a broader push to raise awareness about sextortion, a crime that tragically claimed the 15‑year‑old’s life after he became a victim of online exploitation. Teammates gathered to play wiffle ball the night after his death, underscoring the sport’s role in their camaraderie.
Organizers took the opportunity to thank everyone who helped launch the inaugural Glow Games, noting that the community’s response has set a precedent for future charitable efforts. They expressed hope that continued collaboration will prevent similar tragedies and keep Bohn’s legacy alive through education and public‑space improvements.
