the premier national tournament that's
BIGGER than basketball.
It’s a tribute to a coach who gave everything for his players and his community—and to everyone affected by glioblastoma.
Through the Tournament of Champions, we carry forward Coach Kevin Brown’s mission: lifting up the next generation of top-tier talent while raising funds for life-saving cancer research.



A cause that
TRANSCENDS THE COURT
Bringing together elite talent from all over the country,
the Kevin Brown Memorial Tournament of Champions is one of the nation’s top high school basketball tournaments.
Over 19 years, it’s showcased future NBA players and Division I recruits, offering teams a platform to compete at the highest level.
A game-changing new mission began in 2019,
when the tournament was renamed to honor Coach Kevin Brown, who passed away after a courageous battle with glioblastoma.
The tournament took on a new purpose: to raise funds and awareness for glioblastoma research through the KB Strong Foundation, supporting those affected by this aggressive brain cancer.
To date, the foundation has donated over half a million dollars to research—with a goal to reach $1 million.
Every ticket sold, every game played, and every story shared advances the fight against glioblastoma.
"When we're a minute left, down 10, and people are getting up and taking to the exits—Kevin and I might catch eyes and we know...we can still win. And, that's the way you fight glioblastoma."
