Fundraiser & Jamboree Info
Empowering Community, One Shot at a Time. At Pomperaug Basketball Community, we believe that the power of sports can transcend the court and make a lasting impact on the lives of those affected by cancer. Our mission is to unite our community through the shared passion of basketball, while advocating for and supporting individuals and families battling cancer through action and altruism.
The 8th grade travel boys’ and girls’ PBC basketball teams will kick off their 2024-2025 season with a Sideline Cancer Jamboree on Saturday, November 23, 2024 starting at 9:00am at the Pomperaug High School. The girl’s side will include Pomperaug, Bethel, New Milford and Redding. The boy’s teams will include Bethel as of now.
Proceeds from the event will be used to support local families that are currently affected by cancer by means of gas and grocery gift cards, Uber gift cards, appreciation gifts for the medical staff and more.
How can YOU help? Purchase a Sideline Cancer shirt or hoodie and wear it to the event! SPREAD THE WORD. Let’s show our solidarity in supporting the fight against cancer as well as support those near us that have been affected. We can’t wait to see everyone in attendance wearing their shirts on November 23rd!
The day of the event there will also be raffle items and snacks for sale with all proceeds going back to our cause. Together we can “SIDELINE CANCER!”
