Shooting for Success

Shooting for Success is a dynamic career readiness event, basketball tournament, and 3-point contest dedicated to preparing the youth in the Western Massachusetts community for the workforce. By connecting them with local community leaders and providing a platform to showcase their skills on the court, we aim to empower and inspire the next generation.

Generous contributions from sponsors like you will enable us to provide scholarships to the winners, making a meaningful impact on the lives of these young individuals. Day 1 will be held at Holyoke Community College, while Day 2 will be hosted at the Basketball Hall of Fame. We are grateful for the opportunity to utilize both venues as it will allow for more exposure and, thus, a more significant community impact.
