The InSports Apparel division is happy to supply the jerseys for this event as well as provide event t-shirts that will be available for purchasing that day. “The event is more than a showcase of basketball talent. It provides the players a platform to show they are more than just athletes. They are contributing to a cause bigger than themselves — something bigger than basketball. Those who passed away from cancer don’t leave a legacy of cancer; they leave a legacy of fight. Their fight to be there for their family and community. That fight continues with the Twin Cities Classic.” –www.TwinCitiesClassic.org Please feel free to join us on August 10, 2014 at Woodbury High School for this event and come watch some of the best up and coming youth basketball players perform while supporting cancer!
