Quinn Boylston story

Quinn is the seven-year-old brother of Ames Cyclones, Orion (2013 Alum), and Payton (2015 Alum) Boylston.  Following his first Mites season in March 2011, Quinn was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.  His battle against cancer was deemed “Quinn’s Quest” and was supported by countless teammates, friends, and family members.  Following a courageous, five-month battle, Quinn died in September 2011. 

Entry for the game is a free-will donation.  Proceeds from Quinn’s Quest Benefits go to a charity or foundation to help cancer research or to help support families who are going through similar battles with their own children. 

Proceeds:

This year, proceeds will go to Iowa State University Dance Marathon and Ames High School Dance Marathon. These charities provide financial and emotional support for children with life-threatening illnesses receiving treatment at the UI Children’s Hospital and other Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and their families.

AMHA will host a Mite Tournament February 3rd - 5th
