Both the boys and girls Nassau and Suffolk County All-Star Basketball teams met recently for an awareness event at the Amsterdam at Harborside in Port Washington.

The teams will face off on Sunday in the 3rd annual All Star Basketball Classic to raise money for Alzheimer's Research.

Members of the team underwent a virtual dementia tour to experience what it's like to have Alzheimer's disease. Check out the video for the highlights.
