TCC All-Star

Celebrating £5,000 raised for through All-Star 2025 presented by 🏀⭐️ Thabks to all of you who contributed to this year’s sold out event - sponsors, players, volunteers, and spectators! You’re all legends! 🤩 L-R Adam Ingle and David Stalker (People Playbook) Lynn Cowan (Children’s Heartbeat Trust), Paddy McGaharan and Tony McGaharan (The Courtside Collective). Shout out to co-organizer and co-founder of TCC

Wow! 🤩 What a huge number, y’all 🙌 We raised £5,000 for 🙏 Ticket sales: £4,208 🎟️ Raffle: £410 and a little top up from our title sponsor 🔥 makes it £5,000 💰

Family. Community. Charity.

These photos captures so much joy — and we think that feeling was shared by everyone who joined us for our annual People Playbook All-Star Game. 🏀⭐️

From huge smiles to belly laughs, one standout moment was when a player sank a half-court shot on behalf of a young raffle winner. The prize? £500! It knocked .mcgaharan off his feet - see photo evidence 😂

Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we raised an incredible £5,000 for our charity partner, Children’s Heartbeat Trust.

Here are some highlights by the numbers:

🏀Nearly 30 players (including 13 Irish Internationals) across the three-point shootout, dunk contest, and the All-Star Game
🎟️ A sold-out crowd of nearly 500 people
🎬 A professional livestreaming partner, with almost 2,000 views
🍿 Instagram reels reaching 15K+ and even 20K+ views

But for Tony, and their sister — this was more than a sporting event. It was deeply personal.

We did it in memory of our Mum, who passed away in September 2023. Janet would’ve loved the craic, the family atmosphere, and cheering her son Paddy on as he played.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make it happen: players, spectators, volunteers, and our generous sponsors and supporters:

The Malone Hotel, Belfast, Gavin Kennedy, Re:work, MTA Performance, Newforge, ISO Basketball, Infinity 21, The Sideline Live, Keelan Sexton, Daniel Shields, Lucy Robinson, Basketball Ireland, Basketball NI. And a huge thanks to Niall McDermott.
