Syracuse, New York – SHA’s $10K Youth Basketball tournament returns TODAY, starting at 10am at Wilson Park! The Girls’ tournament kicks off the start of the annual $10K Tournament with round-robin games and concludes with their championship game on 07/29/2023!
The Boys’ Tournaments will occur next weekend, with the 13-15 age group on 07/29 and the 16-20 age group on 07/30.
The SHA tournament’s intention is to provide youth at risk of perpetrating or being victims of community and gun violence an opportunity to create positive and healthy connections with adults throughout our city. SHA hopes to use this event as a catalyst initiative to prevent youth violence and exemplify alternative pathways to destructive behavior, and we are proud to say that none of the youth participants involved in our tournament for the last 3 years have fallen victim to community gun violence!
Like past years, throughout the tournament, SHA will facilitate a positive connection with adults within our community and aim to bridge the gap between law enforcement, first responders, and connect participants with different community groups and organizations.
SHA invites the community to come out and enjoy a fun-filled day of healthy competition, free food, and good family times!
A few of this year’s sponsors include Upstate Medical University, TAG Associates, Inc., OneGroup, C&S Companies, Home HeadQuarters, Pepsi, JMA Wireless, Empower FCU, Brown & Brown, CenTrio, and more!
An extra special thank you to their Elite MVP Sponsor, SERVPRO of SW Onondaga County Team Luzzi, for their generous donation of $10K!
