FLUSHING, N.Y. – Following its contest with American International, the Queens College women’s basketball team hosted its third-annual holiday hoops event. The event was a great success for everyone involved.
The children participating in the event got treated to the game, sitting near the Queens College bench. After the game, the campers had a pizza party, spent some time in the Fitzgerald Pool and joined the team to watch a movie later that night. They all had a fun time.
Perhaps the biggest benefactors from the day were the parents, who got some uninterrupted time to finish up the Christmas shopping.
