Grudge basketball contests on tomorrow night in Linden
– Livewire hosts event in aid of Monique Amsterdam
Linden’s Livewire Entertainment will host grudge basketball contests tomorrow night in aid of Mackenzie
Monique Amsterdam
High School student, Monique Amsterdam, who was diagnosed with scoliosis, at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court beginning at 8pm.
The 14-year-old Amsterdam, who resides in Linden, was diagnosed with scoliosis in 2012 and is expected to undergo surgery in the United States of America. However, to do so, she has to raise $4M (US$20,000) to ensure a successful process.
Following a closely contested Linden Amateur Basketball Association (LABA) tournament that concluded last week in honour of the 20th Anniversary of Victory Valley Royals, Livewire will re-enact the Final Four with some added attractions.
The event dubbed ‘Amsterdam All-Star’ will feature Retrieve Raiders against Bulls and Amelia Ward’s Jets versus Royals in a grudge showdown. An East (Mackenzie shore) versus West (the Wismar shore) match-up is also on the cards for the night.
Apart from the games, there will be three-point shootouts and dunk contests all aimed at giving patrons as much entertainment to raise funds for the student. A Concert was also held last week while Livewire hosted a call-in programme on NCN Linden.
“I figure bringing these teams together again after they were only separated by a point last week was a good way to help raise funds for this young lady, who is in need,” Livewire Entertainment Andrew McBean told Kaieteur Sport yesterday.
Digicel Guyana Inc., NCN Linden, New Era Entertainment, Movements Sound, LABA, Ever Pure Water and Somerset Fish Shop are the sponsors of the benefit games tomorrow night, while several other individuals have also contributed to making the event possible. (Edison Jefford)
