SYRACUSE - Two Upstate New York events took place this weekend in hopes of raising money for relief efforts in Haiti.
A basketball tournament raised about $6,000 at the Jamesville-DeWitt High School yesterday. J-D high school alums, Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim and members of his team were on hand for the event.
The fundraiser included a slam dunk contest, scrimmages and a three point contest.
Up north in Watertown, a hair salon is hoping to raise money by clipping hair. The shop has been offering reduced prices for haircuts and donating the funds to Haiti relief.
The salon owner had a similar event following Hurricane Katrina and raised about $1,000. This time she's hoping to raise even more.
Haircuts for Haiti will continue next Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm.
