Gus Macker is an organization that facilitates 3-on-3 basketball tournaments all over the country. It was a staple of summertime fun in the Shenango Valley over twenty years ago. This committee brought the tournament back to the area in July 2024. In order to have another successful event, we need to raise $70,000. This money will be used to pay for the Gus Macker staff and equipment including hoops and balls, local referees, volunteer swag, security services, medical services, a reduction in registration cost for players, and much more. 

The Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tournament is designed so that anyone can play. This maintains the purity and integrity of the driveway game. Last year, we had 104 teams made up of 411 people from 12 different states across the country. We estimated that nearly 3,000 spectators enjoyed the tournament weekend. This year, we hope to double those numbers.
