Waubonsie Valley is hosting the Crohn’s and Colitis Shootout to raise awareness of a disease that affects about 1.5 million people in the U.S. This event began in 2019 at Wheaton-Warrenville South under the guidance of Mike and Michelle Healy. They have a close connection to the disease because their son, Nick Healy, an assistant at Waubonsie Valley for four years and now the Head Coach at Glenbard North, was diagnosed with Crohn’s when he was in 7th Grade. Nick has dealt with the symptoms since, including a surgery in 2018 to remove more than a foot of his colon.
On December 5th, 2026, twelve high school basketball programs will come together for an outstanding day of basketball to support this fantastic cause.
This year's Teams: Wheaton North, York, Naperville North, Oswego East, Glenbard North, Glenbard East, Normal, Glenbard West, DeKalb, West Aurora, Wheaton-Warrenville South, and Waubonsie Valley.
