Rosters Set for Hoops from the Heart Exhibition Games for this Wednesday @ IGAC

The St. Boniface Hospital & Research Foundation in partnership with the University of Manitoba are hosting a special evening of basketball on Wednesday August 12 at the Investors Group Athletic Centre to raise awareness and funds for two special causes.  All proceeds from the event will go to heart research at St. Boniface Hospital and to the Basketballs for Inner City Kids Project, which distributes new basketballs to children in Winnipeg's inner city.  The event will feature two basketball games at the IGAC with the University of Winnipeg Wesmen taking on an All-Star team comprised of active University and College players from Western Canada at 6:30 with the University of Manitoba Bisons playing at 8:15 pm.  Get out and support a great cause and catch some great summer hoops!  For details...
