Eric Snow's Shoot for the Moon Foundation tries to strengthen ties between young boys and their fathers.

Tanielle Shurney had never met Cavaliers guard Eric Snow. And her 16-year-old son, Anthony Gordon, wasn't even a basketball player. The Glenville High School junior was a football running back.

But after Gordon was shot and killed in the Flats in January 2006, the funeral home called Shurney's house to tell her that Snow's Shoot for the Moon Foundation had donated $2,000 toward her son's funeral. She was blown away -- by that and the generosity of countless others who stepped up to support the family.

"I don't know if he just heard it on the news or how it went down," she said. "I never had a chance to even see him or thank him. I was very grateful for that."

Snow launched Shoot for the Moon Foundation in 1997 to strengthen father-child relationships through basketball clinics and other activities.

Even More Eric Snow Fun...

Eric's wife is one of the featured "Real Housewives of Atlanta" on the Bravo channel.

Was bored surfing channels while waiting for the hoops season to start and came across Eric Snow and family on the preview show. They were showing the Snow Family mansion in Atlanta. I don't know when/if they are going to show the remaining episodes. But, it seems Bravo has the preview show in rotation.

One scene from a future show has Eric's wife telling him what kind of booze her father wants to have in the house when he visits. Eric looks annoyed and says "What does he think this is, a nightclub?" :chuckles:
