The fourth Jeffco Youth 3v3 Basketball Charity Tournament was a huge success, according to the event organizers.   Forty teams participated and raised $3,700 for Jeffco Schools Foundation which supports Jeffco Public Schools in preparing all students for a successful future.

In 2011, Ambree Rogers, Brenda Christy and Kathy Miks wanted to involve their sons in fundraising for a non-profit over the winter break. The teens decided to organize a basketball tournament and selected the Jeffco Schools Foundation to benefit. The event was organized and run by youth and adult volunteers who shared a passion for basketball and helping out our community.

The planning committee extends its sincere thanks to the following individual’s for their assistance in helping with the tournament:

  • Chad Broer, Chatfield High School Athletic Director, for providing the facility
  • Micah Pauldino and the Gold Crown Officials for providing referees
  • Chatfield Boys Basketball Players for assisting with the special events
  • Chatfield Slam Dunk Booster Club for providing concessions and feeding the officials
  • Zach Snyder and Panther Physical Therapy for providing the Vertec to measure vertical jump
  • King Soopers for donating Gatorade for the Gatorade Toss
  • Costco for donating Gatorade for the Gatorade Toss
  • Jeffco Middle and Elementary Schools for promoting the tournament via their school newsletters
