MAYFIELD, KY - Rozzell Chapel Church recently held their annual three on three Hoops for Hope basketball tournament. For the past 19 years, Rozzell Chapel has held this tournament and donated a portion of the proceeds to charity. They have raised thousands of dollars for various charities such as Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and the American Cancer society.  Most recently, they have donated to local charities such as Mayfield-Graves County Need Line & Food Pantry, Graves County Child Advocacy Program, Inc., and The Lighthouse Ministries. This year, the youth of the church selected the Mayfield-Graves County United Way as the local charity recipient.
