Larry Marquardson was a passionate advocate for youth sports and a
lifelong supporter of basketball in Winnipeg. His dedication to fostering
teamwork, resilience, and leadership in young athletes left a lasting impact on
all who knew him.
In Larry's memory, the Larry Marquardson Memorial Basketball
Award will support a female basketball player in Winnipeg who exemplifies
Larry’s values of hard work, sportsmanship, and community spirit. This annual
student award will aim to empower young women to pursue their basketball dreams
while continuing Larry’s legacy of inspiring excellence both on and off the
court.
Gifts to the Larry Marquardson Memorial Basketball Award Fund will
be held until the family determines how the student award will be
managed.
Through the generosity of family, friends, and community supporters, this fund celebrates Larry’s life and his unwavering belief in the power of sport to shape future leaders.
