On May 19 the Third World Relief Club hosted a basketball fundraiser for charity.
They were raising money for the Zam Zam Water charity which provides clean water for third world countries. The fundraiser took place in the James Logan Pavilion after school.
In order to play in the tournament, you must pay ten dollars per person,be between the ages of 13-21, and confirm your participation with one of four officers to the club. You also didn’t have to attend Logan to participate, so there was a few students from Newark Memorial High School who joined as well.
The players in the the tournament were all competing to win first, second, and third place trophies and medals, given to each player of the winning team. The game consisted of two half court games, each with two teams of three, going on all at once.
Since there were more than four teams competing in the tournament, there were multiple rounds that went on to cycle the teams that were moving up in rank.
The club had a successful fundraiser, raising about $400 dollars for the charity. Elise Kam, one of the club officers, also mentioned that the club had also raised about $600 over the school year by selling snack bags and is planning to combine that money and send it all to Zam Zam Charity.
