The most rewarding game I ever worked was quite a few years ago between the Portland Trailblazer Alumni Team (former Blazer players who play for charities) vs. coaches and teachers from my local HS. The game was played to raise money for the HS athletic fund. There wasn't a single complaint from any of the players to me or my partner the entire game. The crowd was very supportive, too. They really just wanted to see the players do their "stuff". Some of the ex-pros came over after the game to thank us. It's quite a memory.

Oh yeah, my partner (the Immortal Dave) and I both donated our fees to the athletic fund, too.
