The 48th annual Walnut Creek Elks local Free Throw Contest will take place from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 8 at De La Salle High School in Concord.

Boys and Girls age 8 through 13 are invited to participate. (Contestant's age group will be determined by their age as of April 1, 2020).

Certificates and prizes will be awarded to all participants and beautiful trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers of each boy and girl category.

Age group champions will have the right to represent our lodge area in the Elk's District, California, Regional and National championship events beginning next January. (We have had 10 California state champions during the past seven years).

Free to the public, there is no cost! Show up and register at the gym between 8:30-10:45 a.m. and shoot 25 free throws. Bring your brothers, sisters, friends and teammates. It will be a great, fun experience. (Check out Elks.org./Hoop Shoot and watch a video of the 2019 national finals.)
