Westport PAL - Court Jesters Charity Basketball Game on behalf of Rainbow

The comedy basketball talents of the Court Jesters and their world famous showman Rainbow have been part of the Westport PAL basketball program for the past fifteen years.  Rainbow was always known as the King of Comedy Basketball.  He performed in gyms all over Westport, entertaining and inspiring our youth.  After a brave battle against pancreatic and liver cancer, Rainbow recently passed away.  To honor Rainbow, the Court Jesters are conducting a fund-raiser to help Rainbow's family pay the expenses of his cancer fight.  All proceeds will go to support Rainbow's family.  Here is an opportunity to give back to someone who has given so much to our community.

On Saturday, July 27th, the Court Jesters will play against former New England professional athletes at the Naismith Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA.

Scheduled to appear for the New England Pros are Nate "Tiny" Archibald, Terry O'Reilly, Ken Hodge, JoJo White, Steve Grogan, Tim Wakefield, Jason Varitek and many others.  The All-Stars will be coached by Westport PAL Basketball's Howie Friedman.

Westport PAL is supporting this fund-raiser in tribute to the life of Rainbow.  If you are interested in purchasing tickets for the game, please kick the link below:
