Crowded Irish pubs on St. Patrick's Day? Why bother, when you could spend your St. Patrick's Day playing basketball with D.C. Councilmembers Adrian Fenty and Kwame Brown, ESPN "Around the Horn" host Tony Reali, mayoral candidate Michael Brown and WTOP sportscaster Frank Hanrahan at the Hoops Sagrado Celebrity Basketball Tournament. (Spots on the teams are still available, so if you'd like to hit the hardwood in support of charity, call Brian Weaver at 202-422-2162.) Every year, the nonprofit group Hoops Sagrado sends teenagers from Washington to Guatemala, where they teach basketball, learn Spanish and interact with their Latin American peers. How better to raise money for this worthy charity than by organizing a celebrity basketball game/March Madness viewing/St. Patrick's Day party? Held at the Jelleff Boys & Girls Club, the game features food from El Paraiso and Bourbon, Irish beer and, afterwards, March Madness viewing on a big-screen TV. A tax-deductible $30 donation is suggested.
