Attention Veterans and Service Members

Carmel Christian and Phenom Hoop Report have partnered to bring the second annual Carmel Christian Tip-Off Classic to Charlotte, NC November 8-9, 2019. This premier event will include 10 Varsity Basketball Teams from across the State in one of the first showcases in the 2019-2020 High School Basketball season.

New this year, The Independence Fund, a Charlotte-based National Veteran non-profit, has joined the event to help promote and recognize our Veterans, Service Members, and their Families who have sacrificed so much to ensure we have this amazing opportunity to fellowship and enjoy the game of basketball. If you’re a VSO that wants to get involved, please contact us!

All Veterans and Service Members will receive free admission into the tournament. Simply bring proof of service in the form of Veteran designation on driver’s license, DoD CAC Card, or DD-214 for free entry. Additionally, all Veterans will receive recognition at each game and a special memento.

Location: Carmel Christian School Gym, 1145 Pineville-Matthews Rd, Matthews, NC 28105
