A Summer Slam for Safety
The Bradfield Community Center will host a basketball tournament on August 12 at 6 p.m., a date selected to give children a lively send‑off before the new school year begins.
Organized by Councilman Derry Glenn, the free event aims to blend recreation with a crucial message about gun safety, distributing handouts that outline best practices for families.
Refreshments sold at the gathering will funnel proceeds directly to the center’s Boys & Girls Club, reinforcing local support networks.
Teams have already been assembled, allowing kids from several nearby schools to mingle and build friendships in a safe environment.
The tournament draws on the success of earlier community games held at the same venue, reflecting a growing commitment to both youth engagement and public safety.
Looking Forward
The initiative reflects a broader effort to use sport as a conduit for education, with organizers hoping the excitement on the court will translate into lasting awareness off the court.
