The league provides
hundred of city children, ages 10 to 17, the opportunity to play organized

year from the CarMax Foundation.
The championship
games at Pine Camp and the Siegel Center will be free to the public and events

Since 2007, the
CarMax Foundation has given nearly one million dollars to restore and expand
the department’s basketball courts at Pine Camp, renovate a building on the
site for use as a concession facility, and expand league play to include more
youth and a wheelchair league.
