The Northern Ohio Chapter of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI) will be hosting the fifth edition of its Hoops Hysteria event on Tuesday, March 17, at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. According to Michael Eisner of Lakeside Scrap Metals and the Northern Ohio Chapter of ISRI, the previous four Hoops Hysteria events have raised more than $50,000 for the RRF Scholarship Foundation. “The generosity of individuals and corporate sponsorships has allowed our chapter to award more than 30 significant financial scholarships to the children of Northern Ohio ISRI members over the last four years,” says Eisner. As it has in past years, this year’s event will feature teams from participating scrap companies playing basketball in an afternoon tournament at Quicken Loans Arena (The Q), on the same floor where LeBron James and the Cavaliers take on NBA opponents. Players will be able to test how their moves stack up against LeBron’s as the Cavaliers and the Magic take to the floor later that evening. Viewing the contest between teams with two of the NBA’s best records is part of the Hoops Hysteria schedule, as well as dinner and cocktails. The Northern Ohio Chapter has acknowledged the following companies for their donations to the March 17 fundraising event: Those seeking more information or who wish to register online can go to www.hoopshysteria.org.
