Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines - we know you've got game so we're taking it to you. At 12 different locations reaching thousands of US military, you will get to see which one of your brothers & sisters in arms can ball during this 1-day event. Who's got the best handles? Who's got that 3-point line on lockdown?
If spectating is more your sport, you should still come out on game day to show and prove, and see for yourself what the Scion buzz is all about. We've collaborated with the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Divisions of the US Military to build an interactive entertainment park to bring out the kid in you. If you are a licensed driver 18 years or older, come and put Scion's car-building skills to the test on our ride & drive courses with a Scion xB, tC and xD. You and your family can enjoy some hard earned R & R on the basketball court and in our interactive park where handpicked Scion DJs will cut and spin a Hip-Hop soundtrack for the day.
Balling, Driving, Gaming and relaxing - this day is all about our troops.

Not new, this is the 3rd tour I think. I have never been to one b/c it's never been close to me on a day I could go. Looks like this one is the same, but it would be pretty cool!
