Looking for a rewarding way to spend your Memorial Day?

Registrations are still being accepted for Monday's Air it Out 3-on-3 basketball tournament, which will be held on Third Street in downtown Grand Haven, beginning at 8 a.m. Monday.

The event will serve as a fundraiser for 1st Reformed Church of Grand Haven. Money raised will be given to International Aid, to be used for a water filtration system that will be sent to Haiti.

The registration fee is $96. Discounts are being offered to veterans, members of the Coast Guard, and those experiencing economic hardships. The tournament is open to both male and female athletes ages 8 and above.

The basketball action will pause at 9:45 a.m. as the Memorial Day parade goes past the courts.

The entry deadline for the event is Thursday. Teams can register online at www.airitoutinc.com. Veterans or those who need financial help can call Scott Cole at (616) 844-0755. Other questions can be answered by Shaun with Air it Out at (231) 578-6876.
