Get a discount on your BAM Jam team at auction

If you are planning on playing in this spring's BAM Jam (which is March 21-22, 2015) you might as well try and get in at a discount right?

The proceeds from the BAM Jam team
at auction is donated to the
Idaho Select Players Fund

BAM Jam has donated a team to the Idaho Select Player's Fund auction, which runs from Monday, November 10 to Friday, November 21. Items are still being loaded up but if you want to take a look at the team item, click here. It is valued at $165 (that is for those elite teams that decide to register late) but the bidding starts at just $60.

While you cannot bid on it just yet, you can get the jump on everyone else by setting up your account and then using the auction's "watch feature" which keeps you up to date on the bidding.

Oh, and in case you were wondering - all of the money from the auction goes to the Idaho Select Players Fund, a non-profit that helps players with a financial need. Click here to learn more about the Players Fund.

Up in Spokane...

Just saw this about the Spokane Hoopfest, the world's largest 3 on 3 tournament - http://twitter.com/SpokaneHoopfest.

So, if they were at 6,400 teams last year and now they are even bigger, does that mean they are going to hit 6,600? 6,700? Wow! Can you imagine having even just a fraction of this in Boise? Think how many people would be spending money downtown! Think about how much money we could donate to charity! Think about how much hoops this town would be playing! Let's do it!
