In Memory of Owen David Pitts
Owen loved basketball—not just the game, but the teammates, the laughter, the competition, and the sense of belonging that came with wearing the Medical Lake jersey.
The Owen Pitts Endowment was created to carry that spirit forward for future generations of players. Through this fund, the Pitts family and the Medical Lake community are investing in opportunities that strengthen the basketball program and support the young athletes who represent it.
Each gift helps ensure that Owen’s passion, resilience, and love for his teammates continue to inspire players to compete with heart, support one another, and grow into leaders both on and off the court. When you give to this fund, you become part of Owen’s legacy, helping young athletes experience the same joy, teamwork, and belonging that meant so much to him.
