WVUR 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament
Organizations on campus are a way for college students to develop close bonds with other students with similar interest. WVUR is one of these organizations and often staff members spend so much time together, they begin to think of each other as family.
As some of you might have heard, a former manager and close friend of many involved with the station, was recently injured in a serious accident. Nick Kovatch was hospitalized for about a month with severe injuries. Thankfully, Nick has recovered and was released from the hospital to continue his recovery in the confines of his home. The station staff and friends of Nick are overwhelmed with joy for his recovery and would like to assist him with the expenses that have accumulated due to his hospitalization.
WVUR will be putting together a couple of events to help raise funds for Nick and his family. The first event will be a basketball tournament to take place at 2 pm on May 3rd in the Hilltop gymnasium at the Athletics Recreation Center. The tournament will be 3 on 3 and the cost will be $15 for a team. Teams can have as many as 4 players to allow for a substitution for each team. Teams can be any combination of players, just be aware that some all female teams may be matched up with an all male team as the tournament progresses. Brackets will be decided based on sign ups. Sign up sheets will be located on the station door and should be turned in by Wednesday, April 29. Every team is guaranteed two games and there will be other fun competitions throughout the day. Prizes will be provided for the winning teams and donations will be accepted throughout the day’s events.
Please keep in mind that all proceeds will go to Nick Kovatch and his family. Please join us for a day of fun for a great cause. We appreciate your participation.
