Texas City first responders to face-off in charity basketball game next weekend

Texas City police officers and firefighters will battle it out on the

basketball court next weekend in the 409 Face-Off Charity Basketball Game.

The event will be held on Saturday, March 28 at 2 p.m. at Blocker Middle School (1800 9th

Ave. N.). Tickets are on sale now for $5 at Texas City Police Department or guests can

purchase them at the door the day of the event (cash only).

Proceeds benefit the TCPD Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, which supports

the police department and its officers, in addition to offering community services and

programs throughout the year.

In addition to the major bragging rights and coveted trophy that are on the line, the

victorious team will win something priceless: having vehicles in their department’s fleet

washed by the losing team.

Spectators can walk away a winner too. When the doors open at 1 p.m., there will be

raffles for a chance to participate in a three-point contest or a half-court shot. The winners

of those halftime events will receive prizes and gift cards to local restaurants.
