Katz JCC hosting ninth annual basketball tournament on March 9

The community is welcome and encouraged to participate in a weekend of hoops and fun for all ages at the Katz JCC’s ninth annual Eric and Andy Sussman Memorial Three-on-Three Basketball Tournament. Funds raised throughout the weekend are dedicated to the memory of late JCC members, brothers and basketball lovers Eric and Andy Sussman, both of whom loved playing ball at the JCC.

“We are excited to host this year’s tournament to honor the memory of Eric and Andy Sussman,” said Bill Christy, JCC program coordinator. “We are especially thrilled to welcome Coaches vs. Cancer to join in our efforts, who like us, strive to empower coaches, their teams, and communities to join the fight against cancer.”

At 1 p.m. on Sunday, there will be four three-on-three tournaments for children in grades one and two, three and four, five and six, and seven and eight.
