Sam Carey Classic Set for Friday
BST Basketball out of Northern New England (www.bst222.com) along with the "Rock on Foundation" which is an official 501c3 non-profit organization founded by brothers Luke and Matt Bonner (San Antonio Spurs) are partnering up to present the 2nd Annual Sam Carey NH All-Star Classic on Friday August 2nd at Manchester Central High School in Manchester NH.
Sam Carey was a young man who was a huge asset to the entire community of Manchester NH and surrounding towns in New Hampshire. He played his HS career at Manchester Central and continued on to become an All-American at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester NH. After his career at SNHU he went on to play professionally in Europe and then Canada. On November 15th 2011, Sam was on his way home to visit his Fiance and 6 month old son Brayden when he was involved in a one car accident that took his life.
The "Sam Carey NH All-Star Classic" has been created to first and foremost honor Sam Carey. Two other goals which will result from this Charity All-Star Game will be:
1. The creation of a scholarship fund which will award a Manchester Central HS basketball player a scholarship each year. This player must exhibit hard work both on and off the court, have good character, and also have plans to continue his playing career after Central.
2. The launching of a renovation project, with the help of Luke and Matt Bonner, in the city of Manchester to better youth basketball in Sam Carey’s honor.
The game will take place on Friday August 2nd @7pm. This Charity event will be held at Manchester Central High School in Manchester NH. Along with the game will be a halftime 3 point contest with NH native Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs (Runner up in 2013 NBA 3 Point Contest). Also in attendance will be Jam’N 94.5 DJ’ing the entire event. Tickets will only be $10 per person and can be purchased at the door. Tickets can also be purchased online and donations can be made online at www.BST222.com.
