DOWNEY – Warren High School basketball coach Brent Willis and his staff will host the second annual “Dreams of Hope” Charity Basketball Tournament this weekend at Warren High School.

The event, organized by ELI (Empowering Lives through Interaction) is a fundraiser that generates funds for local cancer survivors and their families. It will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The division semifinals will be held at Warren while the finals will be hosted by the Staples Center.

The tournament, according to Willis, is part of his “new era” of Warren basketball, which involves increased volunteerism, giving back to the community, and getting the community involved at Warren High School.

Admission to the tournament is $2, with proceeds benefiting the Cooper and Stewart families, who are dealing with loved ones battling cancer.
