Richter, Steube, Conn, and Miller Win First Place in Annual Bereavement Center Basketball Tournament
Apr. 9, 2014: For a few hours on Saturday, March 29, at the Bronxville High School gym, a group of village and local area men turned back the clock as they took to the hardwood and competed in the 4th Annual Bereavement Center of Westchester's 3 Versus 3 Basketball Tournament.
The event, organized by Bereavement Center of Westchester board members Mark Connors and Tim McGrath, was a great success!
The winning team was led by captain Greg Richter and included Jamie Steube, Greg Conn, and Bill Miller. They all received the first-place prize of a massage at the Bronxville Wellness Center.
"We want to thank Bronxville's athletic director, Karen Peterson, and our local Bronxville sponsors, Peter Iocavello of the Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary and J. C. Fogarty's, for their donation of our first- and second-place prizes," said Tim McGrath.
