Martha's Vineyard Boat to the Basket 

The Martha's Vineyard Boat to the Basket tournament (MVBB) has become a significant event on the island's calendar, addressing crucial community needs while fostering a spirit of competition and camaraderie. This event began with a purpose to spotlight the unique challenges faced by islanders due to their geographical isolation and limited access to essential resources. Today, this basketball tournament brings together teams from Martha's Vineyard and mainland Massachusetts for a day of spirited play and important dialogue. The event, which has been held since 2019 and serves as a platform for raising awareness about critical issues, particularly drug abuse and its impact on individuals and the community.
