The CRIT SDP-Recreation Program brought together families, athletes, and community members for a day of friendly competition and patriotic celebration—on July first.
The day began with a high-energy Youth 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament inside Irataba Hall. Athletes from ages 10–17 laced up and hit the hardwood, competing for medals, bragging rights, and the roar of the crowd.
Outside, the celebration continued with the 4th of July inspired community games, where both kids and adults competed for a chance to win cash prizes. Laughter echoed across the lawn as participants took on:
- The Soda Chug, where speed was key and carbonation was no joke
- The Cracker Whistle Challenge, testing everyone’s ability to whistle after having a mouthful of saltines
- The Bubble Gum Blow-Off, where bubble size brought big smiles
- The fan-favorite Watermelon Eating Contest
The event was organized by SDP Recreation, who carefully handled every detail—from food and games to sports and prizes.
CRIT thanks everyone who participated and showed their support—and special thanks to all the volunteers and SDP staff who made the day a success.
