Local Charity Information:
Like the Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament, this year’s sponsor SAFY also has a long, rich history. Both SAFY and the Gus Macker began more than 20 years ago with a focus on children and families.
SAFY, a leading foster care and adoption agency, is excited to return to Muncie Central High School. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit local foster youth.
Hundreds of participants of all ages will take to the courts for a weekend of some friendly competition. While some players return every year, so does Earl’s Auto Repair. The local business will again sponsor the popular Slam Dunk Contest. The winner will walk away with $1,000 in prize money! Also returning this year is the Family Fun Zone which is free to the public and offers a carnival-like atmosphere.
SAFY is deeply grateful for all the volunteers who have generously donated their time and energy, the local businesses who are helping to support the tournament, and “YOU”, the players and spectators who make this a memorable, yearly event.
Enjoy the weekend!
SAFY’s Mission: “Fostering an environment that positively impacts the lives of youth and their families…whether they are with us for an hour or a lifetime.”
