The 13th Annual Clare Droesch 3 on 3 by the Sea will be Friday, August 28 at the St. Francis de Sales Schoolyard.
More than 100 teams in boys and girls divisions ranging from second grade to our new Co-Ed Open division are expected to compete and honor the memory and legacy of Rockaway basketball legend Clare Droesch, and her courageous battle against breast cancer.
Games will begin at 10 a.m. and continue through the afternoon. DJ Poppa D will provide the soundtrack for the afternoon. Apparel will be available for purchase along with 50/50 and special raffle tickets. Proceeds go to the Clare Droesch Foundation administered by the Graybeards, supporting scholarships at St Francis de Sales Catholic Academy, Christ the King High School, and Boston College, as well as families in need.
A post-event party will then take place in the evening at Callie’s. Registration began on Monday, in the St. Francis de Sales Schoolyard during Summer Classics. Pick up or drop off an application at Summer Classics or at The Graybeards office (129-04 Newport Ave). The deadline to register is Friday, August 14, no latecomers permitted. Teams must have at least three players and a maximum of four and will be entered in the age group of their oldest player. Registration is $50 per player.
