The tournament took place on Dec. 27th, 28th, 29th & 30th and raised a total of $8,000.00. Chariho, Stonington, South Kingstown, and Westerly High School’s Sports Boosters each received a check for $2,000.00 for their basketball teams’ hard work, determination, and participation in the tournament, bringing the total raised to date to over $258,577.
“WCCU is focused on supporting our members and local communities and we want to make a positive impact in our community,” stated Steve White, WCCU President & CEO. “We were very excited to be able to hold it this year and raise money for our communities’ young adults.”
