5th Annual Brand Jordan 40 & Over Basketball Tournament returns to Chicago

CHICAGO, IL, May 31, 2011

It's that time of year again! Time for the Brand Jordan 40 & Over Basketball Tournament; the only tournament in Chicago that has the approval of His Airness himself, Michael Jordan. For five consecutive years, Brand Jordan has powered the premier tournament that brings legendary players over the age of 40 to Chicago to compete and raise money for the charity Sportsfactory.

Sportsfactory provides fun summer camps and sports clinics for Chicago area youth. Sportsfactory primary mission is to motivate inner city youth to participate in physical activities and healthy eating in order to fight childhood obesity.
