The date has been set: June 4! It’s time to start spreading the word for the Second Annual Alumni tournament.
Last year we had an amazing turnout and this year we are hoping to have even more! We raised over $1,200 for an amazing non-profit organization, the Henderson county Alzheimer’s coalition, and this year all proceeds will again be donated to them.
This year’s shirts will say “Still Got Game” (actual shirt design will come later). Prices will be the same as last year: $20 to play (that will include a shirt), $15 if you just want a shirt, and $5 admission fee if you are coming to watch and enjoy the event.
We are changing a few things up this year. Many people asked if we could open it up to more than just Athens High School Alumni, and I have to say I love the idea. Another thing we changed is we are giving you the option to make your own teams.
This tournament is all about having people get together and raise money for a great cause. I hope to see everyone from last year and many more. So come and help a great cause. There is an account already set up at First State Bank Tyler Street, and you can prepay for your shirt order with teller Kenzi Lynne.
