Great outreach

Dear Editor:
Thank you for your involvement in our 3on3 Dam Youth Basketball Tournament, held last Friday evening at Meadowvale Community Centre.
Our goal was to provide a free event for the community, targeting marginalized youth by organizing a basketball tournament and block party. While we anticipated over 200 people would attend, one count totalled 320 people at the event.  
Not only did the youth play basketball, but their families and friends came to watch and others from the community enjoyed the free barbecue. We are proud to say the event was a great success and the youth are already dreaming about next year's event.
Thank you for all your support; without you this event would not have run so smoothly.
