On August 3, the West Suburban YMCA hosted the annual Preston Settles 3v3 Basketball Tournament at its new location on Wells Avenue, with more than 20 teams of teens and young adults participating.
This annual event honors Preston Settles, a beloved Newton teen who suffered a tragic collapse in 2022 during a high school basketball game. The Tournament raises awareness for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and also raises funds for the Preston Settles Memorial Fund, which supports accelerating discovery and care for people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and other charitable activities in Preston’s memory.
“Preston Settles embraced all that he did with positivity and perseverance and impacted so many people in our community,” said Jack Fucci, President and CEO of the West Suburban YMCA. “We are honored to play a part in celebrating his memory by hosting this year’s tournament at our new Wells Ave Y.”
