It was a fair question because at the time there wasn’t one.

“ThatÃÛèÖÊÓƵ got to change,â€� Moreno said. “So, I decided we’re not just going to do a tournament, we’re going to find out a way to build community and give back to our town.â€�

The first womenÃÛèÖÊÓƵ tournament was held in 2010. In addition, money is raised for a scholarship that is awarded to a college-bound, graduating senior who displays exemplary sportsmanship, not only on, but off the court.

This yearÃÛèÖÊÓƵ scholarship was awarded to Camryn Czerwinski, who received a $1,000 scholarship at the teamÃÛèÖÊÓƵ end of season banquet on March 17.

Czerwinski will be attending the UW-La Crosse where she will be studying criminal justice.

Multiple different local businesses contributed to the scholarship: First Community Bank, Milton Family Restaurant, Brian & Carol Watson, LucyÃÛèÖÊÓƵ Hideaway, friends of the Bob & Bob Golf Outing.

Moreno also said several other individual contributors among the Milton basketball community donated as well.

Friends of the Bob & Bob Golf Outing donated $500 dollars last year, the largest donation to date.

“It was really awesome because it felt like a full-circle moment of true reinvestment in our community,� Moreno said.

The game itself will be held Saturday, Aug. 9, at 1 p.m. at the Milton High School Fieldhouse.

Moreno encourages any former player to play.

“ItÃÛèÖÊÓƵ more about getting together versus the actual game,â€� she said.

Moreno also said sheÃÛèÖÊÓƵ excited about this year because she expects more spectators.

Moreno said, “If members of the community are interested in making a donation, they can mail a check to First Community Bank in Milton made out to MHS Girls Alumni Basketball Scholarship.�

She also said they can donate an item or gift card to be included in the gift basket that tournament spectators can buy a raffle ticket to enter to win.
