Shirt Design Tournament History

We hear rumors that our T-Shirt designer is "thinking pink" this year for the tournament Tee Shirt. Check back for a sneak peak at this year's design closer to tournament weekend. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 2011 Shirt Slides

2011

We'moved back to Mother's Day weekend for 2011. It was good to see some old friends and meeting new ones!

 

Our Lion donned her sunglasses on 2011's brightly colored tee shirt design. Teams took advantage of the sunny weather and strolled downtown Haddonfield to take in the shops and sounds. The Mobile Eye Clinic was parked on Kings Highway and provided free eyescreenings.

   

Part of the tournament proceeds this year were donated to Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF) which has been very involved in disaster relief efforts around the world, most recently giving support to US communities affected by the tornados and to help Japan after the earthquake and tsunamis.

The Lions Lizzy Haddon Invitational  celebrates it's 10th Anniversary!  We didn't quite know what to expect since we moved the date to the weekend before Mother's Day for the first time since the tournament began. The response was overwhelming. We filled all our gyms with a record high 92 teams! A the record high temperature in Haddonfield on Saturday was also 92 degrees.

 

The happy Lion returns to the shirt design as she throws confetti in celebration of ten years of tournaments.

What recession?  85 teams came out in force to support the tournament. In fact, the tournament is declared as the largest girls tournament in New Jersey by the referees organization providing refs for the 170 games that are played!

An eyeglass recycling contest is introduced. Each team is asked to collect and bring old glasses with them to the tournament which the Lions refurbish and send all over the world to those in need.

 

Site directors get their "official" shirts to identify them at each gym.

 

The Cherry Hill Lions Club joins the fun and staffs one of our gyms this year as the tournament continues to grow.

 

Technology helps save the day as the website is managed from Las Vegas where our webmaster was on vacation - the week before the tournament!

The tournament launches its own website to better publicize the tournament and to enable coaches to view the game schedules and directions on-line.

 
The Lion with her tail wrapped around the basketball becomes the tournament logo and graces the T-Shirt which is a hit with the players and Lion volunteers alike.

The Haddonfield Lions Club takes over the tournament as its primary fundraising event. Our first "Lions" T-Shirt is in Red and Black, the colors of the Haddonfield Memorial HS teams.
