In this COVID-affected world, Bill Schonely’s doctor is advising him not to participate in the final of three “Jerome Kersey: Overcoming the Odds” book events at Moda Center Friday Jan. 7, before & during halftime of the Trail Blazers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game.

But I’m thrilled to say that joining me to sign books and greet fans will be Kiara Kersey, Jerome’s daughter! Proceeds from book sales go to the Jerome Kersey Scholarship Fund at Longwood (Va.) University, Jerome's alma mater.

If you're at the game, please stop by, say hi to Kiara and purchase a book. Thanks to the Blazers for their support with the book project!
