Baskets 4 Hope's Vegas Classic 2008 was a huge success. In collaboration with Method Entertainment Las Vegas, over 200 people showed up for an event that none of us will ever forget.
The event took place at the Boys & Girls Club of Las Vegas, a fifteen minute drive from the beautiful Las Vegas strip. Thank you to all the staff and administrators for all of their support.
The games were exciting all the way until the end. Team Baskets 4 Hope won their first two games and went on to defeat Team Method Ent. Las Vegas in a close championship game. Team Baskets 4 Hope donated the entire $500 cash prize to the charity of the day, City Mission of Las Vegas.
Professional sound and lighting were provided by Method Entertainment Daly City. Thanks to Glenn Gurion and the rest of Method Las Vegas for all of their help. Without them, Vegas Classic 2008 would not have happened. All the players, staff, and friends & family wore the official Vegas Classic 2008 polo shirt, designed by WCX Productions and embroidered by Coveritallco. Big thanks to Robert and Ani for helping us throughout the planning process!
In all, we raised over $500 and 200 canned goods for the City Mission of Las Vegas charity. We are very proud of what we accomplished in our first ever Vegas Classic. We cannot wait for next year!
2007 Winter Classic December 8th, 2007 Our 1st Annual Winter Classic took place in Pacelli Gym in Daly City's Westlake Center. For most of us, it was home sweet home. But for several teams, it was a several hour trek to take part in a day that none of us will ever forget.
Right when the doors opened, the energy filled the gym as players from different schools and cities came together to play basketball and raise canned goods for a local food pantry.
The staff wore Nike Dri-Fit polos (provided by Nick & Angie from the San Diego State Equipment Department) freshly embroidered with the Baskets 4 Hope logo (design and embroidery by Coveritallco).
