Our story

Ken graduated from Western Hills High School in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1967 having played varsity football, baseball and basketball. He pursued his love of basketball at East Carolina University and after college went on to play in semi-pro and recreational leagues until the 1980's when he became a basketball referee. As a highly ranked referee he was able to stay "in the game" in high schools around the Baltimore metropolitan area and colleges throughout Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania and West Virginia for another 20 years.

Our goal

Kenneth Hartzler was a superb athlete but his favorite sport by a mile was basketball. Because of his love of the game, we are honoring his memory with a scholarship fund for students that share that passion for basketball.

Connected with Wendy via a phone conversation and enjoyed hearing about Ken and why she wanted to honor him.

In honor of my uncle Ken, whose vibrant, caring personality and enthusiasm are an inspiration to the many whose lives he touched.

Every time I saw Ken he had a new joke to make me laugh. When he lived close by we got to play basketball and softball together and had fun times. Rest in peace Ken!
