Glatch served as a mentor for Lilly Rembold, who planned the event as a senior project.  The event ended up raising $1,300, far surpassing the goal of $500 set by Rembold.  Seven Fighting Scots wheelchair basketball players traveled to the school to play a game against Rocky Grove staff, alumni, and students.  The wheelchair basketball players included Kate Chasar, Karen Risser, DJ Murray, Cyle Schriver, Rodger Shelton, John Hernadon, and Jake Shafer.

The long time coach at Edinboro, Glatch served as head coach of the Team USA wheelchair basketball squad at the 2012 London Paralympics this summer.  The team captured the bronze medal, the first time Team USA has secured a medal since 2000.
