Hoopapalooza

It’s all hoops, all day, on Sunday, August 15, when the dunking begins in the 22nd annual Alex Cohen Memorial Basketball Marathon for Charity at the Chilmark Community Center.

Fun begins at noon and continues through 6 p.m.

The marathon is played in memory of Alex Cohen, who spent his summers in Chilmark, playing and working at the community center until his untimely death in August 1991.

Alex’s love of the center and his dedication to the welfare of those less fortunate set an example; to honor him, basketballers will solicit pledges from the Island community and distribute the proceeds to Vineyard charities.
