Bball for Kerri
3 on 3 Basketball Tournament
and
Skills Competition

Tournament History

BBall for Kerri 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament and skills competition was created in honor of Kerri McEachern who passed away at the age of 24 after a brief but heroic struggle with an unknown rare cancer. Kerri was an exceptional young lady, smart and beautiful but most importantly she had a kind and giving heart. She was always the first to volunteer and to help others.

Kerri was also an athlete who loved to play basketball and soccer but would try anything; she was always in the gym or running.
The tournament is dedicated to continuing Kerri’s legacy by promoting fitness, having fun, giving back and helping others.

This is our third year for the tournament (after a two year COVID pause), and our 1st year for the skills competition, let's make it a great day!
