Washington Tufts Alliance - 3-on-3 Charity Basketball Tournament & Community Festival

Description: The Washington Tufts Alliance, a chapter of the Tufts University Alumni Association, invites you to join us in community service as we volunteer our time to the annual Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund 3-on-3 Charity Basketball Tournament & Community Festival.

The tournament is an exciting outdoor community sports festival and charity basketball competition. The event brings together DC public high school students and business professionals from across the region, and other youth and adults of Washington DC Metropolitan Area. The Tournament offers "open" competition, and does not seek to match teams by age, height, or any other criteria. All skill levels are welcome. Visit the tournament website for more information.

The Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding the academic and career horizons of Washington, D.C. public high school students. HDSF works to raise academic college scholarships for local inner city students and to connect them to the regional business community and greater opportunities through a college prep mentoring program, SAT test preparation, and an internship program. For more information visit the Hoop Dreams website.
