Sponsoring the Queen City Classic youth basketball tournament is good business. Sponsors will reach a diverse family- and youth-oriented audience while supporting the Spearfish High School Booster Club. The Booster Club provides significant contributions to the Spearfish High School Activities Office, helping to keep the option for participating in sports affordable for participants and the taxpayers.
Now in its 34th year, the Queen City Classic has a long, positive and profitable history. The tournament continually attracts both beginner and advanced teams from a 5-state area. The Queen City Classic alone accounts for about half of the Booster Club’s annual revenue, raising about $40,000 annually. And the impact on the community is even greater in hotels, restaurants and stores.
Queen City Classic Features:
- Over 16 boys and girls divisions for grades four through high school students

- Participants come from a 200- or 300-mile radius across South Dakota and into southwest North Dakota, southeast Montana, western Wyoming and northwestern Nebraska
