In its first year as a sponsor for the Robert H. Griffith Holiday Classic, CGA Law Firm estimated it raised about $7,000 for York County Special Olympics, according to tournament director Charles Calkins.

Calkins has worked at every Holiday Classic during its 28-year run, missing just one game during its history. 

The tournament, which featured the boys' basketball teams from Danville, Bethlehem Catholic, York Catholic and York Suburban, concluded its two-day run Thursday with York Catholic winning the championship game against Bethlehem Catholic.
