President's Message

    It is with great pleasure I welcome everyone to the 25th anniversary of the Dairy Town Classic! Who would have thought when Peter McAleenan and Ron Harvey got together in 1987 to organize “a basketball tournament”, that it would evolve into the premier event it is today!

    Over these past 25 years it has taken the ideas, vision and dedication of hundreds of volunteers for the Dairy Town Classic to grow from an eight-team, men-only tournament into a 12-team event for men and ladies, complete with pre-tournament games which involve and showcase our local basketball talent; a summer basketball camp; and financial support to our local basketball youth through bursaries and scholarships. It goes without saying that without these volunteers, the Dairy Town Classic would not be possible.

    As with any successful organization, the key to success is through a dynamic individual, who has the drive and energy to continue organizing year after year. It was without a doubt that for our 25th anniversary Gale Jeffrey and his wife Carol were to be selected as honorary chairpersons for the 2012 tournament. It was through Gale’s leadership that the DTC was brought to its highest level. Gale is instrumental in keeping the Sussex basketball family informed and spends countless hours on creating opportunities for our local basketball youth. It’s not surprising when you walk into any of the Sussex gyms to watch a basketball game – Gale is there.

    When the Dairy Town Classic started in 1987, we were fortunate to have the support from local businesses and organizations who believed in the vision for a high-caliber basketball tournament. Among those sponsors were Pizza Delight, MILK, CJCW and Fairway; we are proud and grateful they have been our teammates for 25 tournaments! We are thankful to all our sponsors and I invite you to look at our sponsorship board in the SRHS gym and join me in appreciation for their generous support.

    On behalf of the 2012 DTC committee, I hope all players experience great basketball, long-lasting friendships and awesome memories!
