A Fundraiser for the Anthony Lee Franklin Memorial Scholarship with Mingus Amungus & special guest Chinaka Hodge September 16, 2010

Anthony Lee Franklin, a 2002 graduate of Berkeley High School, is the embodiment of a scholar athlete. He was recognized by his fellow graduates as the “Athlete of the Year” and was among the first group of inductees into the Berkeley High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.

Lee lived a short and fulfilled life, having succumbed to leukemia in November 2006, at the age of 22. Lee was first diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 13, but as a Berkeley High School student, he remained healthy and in remission. He was a popular, conscientious, talented, and hard-working student, loved by his fellow students, teammates, teachers, counselors, and coaches.
