"The entire Pit Boss team is blessed to take the court as the title sponsor of Holiday Hoopsgiving," said Dansons President, Jeff Thiessen. "Not only are we eager for first-class basketball from some the country's most elite programs, but we are also thrilled to partner with the tournament's philanthropic efforts and help support Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Giving back to those in need is integral to our company's mission, so having the ability to do so while also introducing a new audience to Pit Boss Nation was a slam dunk opportunity."

The event will resume on Saturday, December 12, with a quadruple header featuring Clemson vs. Alabama, Mississippi State vs. Dayton, LSU vs. South Florida and Auburn vs. Memphis.
