The 2023 Stick It to Brain Tumors Tournament is in the books. Players, Volunteers and Spectators all seemed to have a good time! We met our $15,000 goal and have raise $20,800 for Johns Hopkins Department of Neuropathology and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, which is outstanding!
We had 16 teams in the tournament from across NYS and Connecticut and Massachusetts. It was a big event and as you can see below, there are many people to thank for its success. Family, friends, volunteers, sponsors, teams that participated, spectators, refs – everyone was terrific! It takes a village (or a small city) to have a successful event!! Thank you to everyone!! If I forgot anyone, I am truly sorry!
