2023 Annual WCCU Holiday Basketball Tournament
Tuesday, December 12, 2023
Westerly Community Credit Union is excited to hosting their Annual Holiday Basketball Tournament on Dec 26-27-28 and 29th 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, 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 each of the four participating schools received $2,114.20! To date, this tournament has raised over $267,034!
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.
An ALL-DAY Admission is only $3.00 for students and $4.00 for Adults.
Check out the schedule below and come support your local school!
