The committee for the Coach Baker Fund is pleased to announce this year’s date for the seventh annual auction, Golf Scramble and Basketball Tournament in honor of the late Coach Ken Baker. This year’s weekend will be June 13-14 at the historic Hoosick Falls Country Club in Hoosick.
For the past six years a committee of friends and family has organized the weekend to raise donations for the fund which awards scholarships to deserving students from both the Cambridge and Hoosick Falls school districts, as well as deserving programs in both communities.
Beginning with the Ken Baker Golf Scramble, the weekend has grown by adding a 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament and a Live Auction with a dinner. This weekend has become a reunion of family, friends, students, recipients, finalists and former athletes. With the funds raised by this weekend, the Coach Baker Fund continues with its mission to give financial support to students and communities.
Friday night’s celebration of players and open to the general public will be held at the Hoosick Falls Country Club starting at 6 pm and will feature casual dining and an exciting live and silent auction with tickets available at the door.
The Saturday 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament will be held at the Hoosick Falls Central School gymnasium at 8:30 am on June 14 and is open to fourth to twelfth grade divisions with registration.
The Saturday golf event will once again have a double shotgun start with the morning group teeing off at 8 am and the afternoon group at 1 pm. A small tournament presentation will conclude after the tourney between 5 and 6 pm.
