WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) — To honor the life and legacy of Sean Locke, Delaware basketball teams participated in a fundraising tournament.

The proceeds support “SL24: Unlocke the Light,” which brings mental health programming to young people in the area.

“We have three missions, educate, assist and support those young people who are struggling with mental illness. And we help young people find mental health support services,” said Chris Locke, Co-Founder of SL24: Unlocke the Light and father of Sean Locke.

They also support young people through “Sean’s House” and “Sean’s Rooms.”

“These are safe havens where young people can come speak to the Peer24 team that we’ve trained. For them to just be able to open up…and then point them in the right direction so they can get healthy,” said Chris Locke.

The tournament was held at the Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington.

“Today, if one person talks to an adult… or talks to each other about community and connection and they’re vulnerable, then this is all worth it,” said Sean Locke’s sister and Co-Founder of SL24: Unlocke the Light, Kat Locke-Jones.

“I am incredibly honored that we get to do this work. It is the work of our lifetime because Sean …continues to impact us every single day,” she continued.
