Haris Charalambous, who was a 6’10” 270lb big man, was England’s 2002 Player of the Year and one of the most promising prospects to emerge from the Manchester Magic programme. After receiving a full NCAA Division 1 scholarship to attend Toledo University, he died suddenly whilst at practice with Toledo in 2006. The Haris Memorial Tournament was set up in his memory in 2006, and has had such prominent teams as Blair Academy Prep School, as well as the national teams of England, Scotland, Romania, and Germany take part.

The tournament will be £2 per day, with all proceeds going to the Haris Charalambous Memorial Fund.
