But wait, there's more! The Health Equity Alliance isn’t just playing for the love of the game – they're dribbling with purpose. The tournament aims to score big for their Harm Reduction team, raising funds to grab some essential overdose prevention supplies, like naloxone. 

You can even throw in a direct donation for the purchase of naloxone. It's like adding a no-look, behind-the-back pass to your charitable game plan. 

And hey, even if you're not competing in the tournament, you can still be a top-notch spectator and BBQ enthusiast – no bench-warming here!

Check-in will be at the Health Equity Alliance Bangor Office parking lot, at the corner of Hancock and Newbury.
