Hoops tourney to aid Keystone

June 2, 2004

NH Business Review Staff,

Hoops for Recovery, an annual 3-on-3, double-elimination basketball tournament for groups of four and ages 12 and older, will be played Saturday at Daniel Webster College.

Tournament proceeds will benefit Keystone Hall’s 28-bed facility, which offers recovery programs in residential and outpatient settings for alcohol- and other drug-addicted men and women in New Hampshire.

The team entry fee is $100. All team members will receive Hoops for Recovery T-shirts. Players will also have the opportunity to compete for trophies and prizes.

If you are unable to play, you can volunteer to help at the event. A donation of any size is welcome.

A disc jockey will be playing music throughout the day, and WHOB 106.3 FM will broadcast live from 10 a.m.-noon.

For more information or registration, call Keystone Hall at 881-4848.
