Description
The 30th annual Robert H. Griffith Holiday Basketball Classic will be played this year at Red Lion Senior High School. York Tech usually hosts the event, but had to take a pass this year due to renovations. Attorney Charlie Calkins and Tom Strickler, who organize the tournament every year, are concerned that the event’s loyal fan base will not realize that the basketball tournament is being held in a new location. Calkins and Strickler have managed the tournament for 30 years, but are looking forward to handing supervision of the event to CGA Law Firm attorneys Zach Nahass and Christine Nentwig The basketball teams that compete in the tournament are selected by a committee. The committee reviews each schools’ and many individual player’s statistics over the year to determine which teams would provide the most exciting and competitive tournament. The money raised at this event helps to provide year-round sports training and competition for children and adults that participate in Special Olympics. Those athletes are able to develop skills and memories in a range of sports, including aquatics, basketball, golf, volleyball and soccer. Each year more athletes are able to participate in Special Olympics sporting events because of the money contributed by fans through ticket purchases.
