Hi, I’m Arianna (Ari) Reyes, Executive Director of the Naar Classic Foundation.

Jake was like a brother to me, and being part of the Naar Classic has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. What I love most about this tournament is its ability to bring people together—friends, families, local businesses, volunteers, and community members—all in support of something bigger than themselves.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Clark University and a Master of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Management from Southern New Hampshire University. Professionally, I serve as the Associate Director of Corporate & Foundation Relations at Clark University, where I work with corporate and philanthropic partners to support higher education through fundraising and strategic partnerships.

I am excited to help lead the Naar Classic Foundation and use my professional experience in fundraising, nonprofit management, community engagement, and organizational development to expand our impact. My goal is to ensure that the Foundation continues to grow while preserving the spirit of what made the tournament so special from the beginning.

Most importantly, I am honored to help carry forward Jake’s memory through scholarships, community initiatives, and the annual tournament that brings so many people together each year. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who supports our mission and helps make this work possible.
