Basketball Swish-Out Contest goes virtual for charity
The 27th annual C-U Swish-Out Childhood Cancer Challenge – presented by Town & Country FCU – is going virtual this year, beginning April 12 and ending May 8.
The format of this year’s event will be a weekly free throw competition where three participants form a team and each participants take 50 free throws. The free throws can be taken from anywhere that has a regulation free throw line or a close facsimile, and do not have to be taken at the same time. The collective total from the team is reported by 5 p.m. Sunday each week. The 25 percent of teams in each division, with the lowest total, will be eliminated while the remainder will move on to the next week. There will be weekly winners of gift cards, and the top three teams in each division at the end of the 4-week competition will win prizes. Every participant receives a T-shirt just for registering.
