Wilson Cup Celebrity 2-Ball Tournament

Join us March 5, 2011 as Dairy Farmers of Canada presents the Wilson Cup Final Four Celebrity 2-Ball tournament. Our OUA All-Stars team up with local celebrities as they show off their skills in support of Athletes for Africa. 

Athletes for Africa is a charitable organization that uses the power of sport to educate and engage Canadians in Africa's fight against poverty, famine and disease.

This unique basketball skills game is played by a two-player team. Each team has one minute to score as many baskets as possible from any of the designated shooting spots clearly identified on a half court. Each shooting spot is worth a different point value based on the difficulty of the basket. At the end of the competition, the winner in each category with the highest score wins.
