The first annual Dunking For Deah Tournament was held on February 27th, 2015 in Carmichael Gymnasium at NC State University. The Men's Club Basketball Team organized Dunking For Deah, a three on three tournament in honor of former NC State students: Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha. Fourty men's teams competed and eight women's teams competed in this great tournament which raised $3000 for Deah's Syrian Dental Relief Cause. Many thanks to everyone who competed and donors who could help make this happen!
