WCCU to Host 2021 Annual WCCU Holiday Basketball Tournament
Westerly Community Credit Union will be hosting their Annual Holiday Basketball Tournament on Dec 27-28-29 and 30th at Westerly High School. This tournament was created in 1984 as a way to bring together local school communities in a competitive way to collaboratively raise funds for their sports boosters. This event has become and continues to be a community tradition. This year, WCCU welcomes back the teams from Chariho, South Kingstown, Stonington, and Westerly High Schools.As the sole sponsor since its inception, Westerly Community Credit Union underwrites all expenses of the Holiday Basketball Tournament and as always, donates every dollar of the gate proceeds directly to the participating schools’ sports boosters. Last year, despite being cancelled due to COVID, WCCU continued its tradition and donated $2,000 to each of the four participating schools! To date, this tournament has raised over $250,577!
Girls and Boys, JV and Varsity basketball teams from Chariho, South Kingstown, Stonington and Westerly will participate in a “final-four” format to determine who will be the champions. The following will be awarded: Championship, All-Tournament Teams, MVPs, Sportsmanship, and the Joseph N. Cugini Community Service Award.
PLEASE NOTE: Per the State of RI, masks will be required within the school and gym. The safety and health of our members, players and staff are our main priority so we will be taking extra precautions this year to protect the players, attendees, and staff. We will continue to stay up to date on the situation and will make adjustments as needed.
An ALL DAY Admission will be taken at the door of Westerly High School: $3.00 for students and $4.00 for Adults.
