The Houston Community Foundation will host its annual boys basketball tournament Jan. 20-25 in Tiger Fieldhouse on the Houston School District campus that features teams from eight schools.
The event raises public awareness about the foundation’s work and acts as a fundraiser for its community grant and scholarship programs.
The tournament also supports the Texas County Food Pantry. Those attending are encouraged to bring non-perishable items to aid the East Highway 17 pantry in Houston.
There will be two chances to engage in some fun:
- A half-court shot with the winner receiving cash. A raffle determines the shooters. The cost is $1 or a can of food or six tickets for $5.
- A chance to win two passes for the annual Tom Barr Basketball Camp at West Plains. Children in first through twelfth grades can attend. Each winner also receives a basketball from In-Season Sports & Outdoors. Barr, a Hall of Famer in both the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association and Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Athletics, will host the summer camps. The raffle tickets are $1 or six for $5.
