As a team, it is important that if you try out and make the team, you are able to attend all tournaments. Expense related to tournament lodging, meals, and transportation is additional to registration and fundraising. We will do our best to plan some ways to offset this expense for our teams.
Donations:
The Greenville Hurricanes is a 501(c)(3) and is a great way to support girls basketball in our community. If you, a friend or family member is interested in making a donation and receiving a tax deduction it is a great way to offset our program expenses and continue to enhance future basketball equipment and gym needs. Donations are still made to the Greenville Hurricanes, just let us know it is designated for Girls Basketball.
