The Zimmerman Boys & Girls Club hosted a basketball tournament on Friday, March 24th called March Madness. Eleven teams were assembled amongst local community partners. Each team also included kids and teens who are Boys & Girls Club members. March Madness is a great way for the community to show their support to the Clubs but also a great way for members to connect with even more caring adults. Throughout the night, members were encouraged to give it their all, never give up, display excellent sportsmanship, and work as a team.

Partners included:

Fresno Probation Department
Planet Fitness- Fresno
Planet Fitness- Merced
Coca Cola- Reyes

“We were grateful that we can bring some of our top community partners to join us at our annual March Madness event. This event gives basketball lovers a chance to show their skills, ignites excitement for the sport in our younger members, and promotes healthy lifestyles. It also gives us the opportunity to give our community partners a first-hand experience with the power of the Clubs,” said Sandra Dee Chaney, Director of Community Relations & Special Events for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County.
