Fifteen teams, consisting of players ages 15 to 30, competed in the tournament. The Charlestown Seniors captured the championship. The Boston Foundation was the main financial sponsor of the tournament that was organized by East Boston Athletic Board member James Caruso Sr. and his son, James Caruso Jr.
“We’re grateful to the Boston Foundation for their generous donations to the East Boston Athletic Board which has allowed us to run several events in the East Boston community,” said Bob Anthony, a member of the Athletic Board. The East Boston Athletic Board will host a barbecue on Sunday, Aug. 30, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the East Boston Community Center adjacent to Noyes Park. East Boston youths are invited to enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers and other treats free of charge. The Boston Foundation is sponsoring the barbecue.
