All proceeds from this event benefit the Brandon Jackson Memorial Scholarship Fund which awards college scholarships to local graduating high school seniors. The 1st and 2nd events awarded $13,500 in scholarships to help meet the financial needs of six young people from the Altadena/Pasadena community who entered college in 2011 and 2012.
Much more information about the Brandon Jackson Scholarship and Basketball Shootout is available on the website (bjscholarship.org). There are photos of last year's event and scholarship winners, as well as opportunities for individuals, churches and business to become partners in bringing hope and opportunity to the youth of Altadena/Pasadena.
