To engage the youth within the community, an UNO tournament was also taking place simultaneously inside of the State Farm Good Neighbor Club (GNC), which is also located inside the recreation center.
Hawks Entertainment was on site to provide a fun and engaging atmosphere. Participants were entered into a raffles to win Hawks gear, Hawks Shop gift cards, a signed player basketball and more. The tournament winners, Juanita and Jackie Smith from Team Smith TC Express received a trophy, courtside tickets to an upcoming Hawks game, a customized jersey, and a host of other prizes.
