2nd Annual Bridge To The Community 3-on-3 Basketball Event

The Bridge Youth Center will be hosting our 2nd annual Bridge to the Community 3-on-3 basketball event in downtown Zeeland. The event features a both food and basketball on the streets of downtown Zeeland.
Friday will feature a Community Chicken BBQ from 5 to 7 pm presented by Youth For Christ. At 6pm Friday night, The 3 on 3 basketball tournament will begin. Saturday morning will feature a community pancake breakfast, presented by the Z-Bus summer reading program at The Bridge from 8:30 to 10:30 am. The basketball tournament will resume at 9am and conclude late Saturday afternoon. Last year the event drew over 50 teams and over 2000 spectators. Approx. 8 team division were made up of local businesses, churches, youth groups, open, as well as elementary, middle and high school students of various skill levels. This year we anticipate 50-75 local teams showing their community support for kids and The Bridge Youth Ministry Center. We hope to include in the 2008 event a teacher and administrator division where students can come and root on their favorites.

This is a true family event that promises to be a fun and enoyable event for all.

Participants are guarenteed three games and a t-shirt. Trophies will be awarded to the winning team in each division.
