TEXAS CITY, TX – 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.
