An exciting day of basketball competition is slated for Saturday, July 6, at the fourth annual Daniel Kingsbury Memorial 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament at Roberts Creek Community School. Teams are signing up in both adult and youth divisions, and a women’s and girls’ division is in the works.
This popular tournament, organized by Kingsbury’s high school basketball teammates, honours his legacy by bringing people together to play and enjoy watching the sport he loved. It also raises funds for The Jellyfish Project, the organization he created in 2011 that has educated over 110,000 students across Canada about ocean health, climate change and environmental stewardship.
Games begin at 10 a.m. and division finals are in the afternoon. A shooting contest, open to anyone, will be held at 1 p.m. There will be music, a concession, a playground, and lots of friendly company so spectators are welcome to come out and join the fun.
The fun and fundraising will continue in the evening at the Roberts Creek Legion with Out of the Bluegrass playing at 8 p.m., followed by DJ’s Buzy B and Mikey Bang.
