Mumbai: Bandra East Community Centre (BECC), an NGO working for street children and slum-dwellers, is holding a basketball championship from October 17 to November 2 to raise funds for the schooling of students. Forty-four teams and over 600 players are expected to participate in the tournament to be held at Cardinal Gracias High School in Bandra east.
