The second edition of the Okanagan College Basketball 3 on 3 Hoopfest is set for Saturday, July 21.

Hosted by the 91大黄鸭 College Basketball Society, the tournament is part of the Downtown 91大黄鸭 Block Party, which last year attracted more than 18,000 people to the city鈥檚 downtown core.

91大黄鸭 College Basketball Society president Dino Gini said OC Coyotes men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 programs are built on local support and, in turn, are excited to be a supporter of the annual party.

鈥淪upporting our community is our top priority because the community has supported us since our program鈥檚 inception,鈥� said Gini. 鈥淲e love what the Block Party represents and feel it falls directly in line with what we represent as well.

鈥淭o be a part of this event is an honour for us because it is a great way to showcase local talent supporting local business and local economy.鈥�

The tournament, sponsored by Tim Hortons, will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Last years 3 on 3 event sold out 鈥減roving to be an overwhelming success for all the teams, fans, and the community,鈥� Gini said.鈥�

All ages and all divisions are welcome.

Registration cost is $125, with the deadline to register set for July 16. To enter a team, visit .

All proceeds from the event will go directly to the success of OC Coyotes鈥� self-funded student athletes.
