Summer hoops -- and the Tom Borrelli Memorial Award PreTournament Raffle

I am selling raffle tickets for The Tom Borrelli Memorial Award and Scholarship Fund -- it's a pretournament raffle with lots of super cool prizes.

Check 'em out:

* Six box-seat tickets to a Sabres game courtesy of Try-It Distributing;
* Six box-seat tickets to a Bandits game courtesy of Try-It Distributing;
* Jim Kelly autographed football;
* Ken Whisenhunt autographed Arizona Cardinals cap;
* Larry Fitzgerald autographed Sports Illustrated cover;
* Masters golf tournament assortment (hat, flag, hat clip);
* $50 gift certificate to Tempo Restaurant.

Tickets are $5 each, a great value for some great prizes and a great fund-raiser.

I'll be checking out some summer league hoops Thursday evening at Sweet Home, so if anyone is headed down there they can catch me there after 6:15 p.m. I'm hoping to make the July 16 session at St. Joe's as well. Some good teams are lined up -- in addition to the Panthers and Marauders, Niagara Falls, Canisius, Grover Cleveland and Williamsville South are part of the sessions.

If anyone has any other good ideas for some summer high school hot spots -- in any sport -- where I can sell some tickets, please let me know via e-mail (kmcshea@buffnews.com).

If you'd like to purchase some tickets, also just email me and I'll set some aside -- I'll send you an address where you can send a check.

There are a limited amount of tickets so let me know as soon as possible.

Any help is much appreciated.

The raffle drawing is Sunday, July 19, which is the day before the Tom Borrelli Golf Tournament.
