This spring marks 39 straight years of the Wheelchair Charities HS Basketball Classic. Only this time, there will be a new venue.
York College (94-20 Guy R. Brewer Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens) will host the prestigious event, taking over for longtime home Long Island University. The three-day event pits all-stars from every borough in boys and girls hoops against one another for city supremacy.
As always, all proceeds will go to the Wheelchair Charities and the Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for anyone with student identification.
