Thank you to all the teams that competed in our first ever FIAT 3-v-3 Basketball Tournament. We nearly had ten teams compete in a hard fought basketball competition. It was truly the most competitive hardwood (in our case tile floor) action ever to take place at 929 Pearl Rd. Our single game elimination tournament went into a second overtime and “Christine’s Crew” took home to Chipotle Party for 10.

Just another reason you want to be a part of the FIAT Revolution.

FIAT will be going to the Real Music Competition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We’ll get to hear great local Christian bands, see all the exhibits at the Rock Hall, and gather with hundreds of great people from all over Northeast Ohio.

The event is free. We’ll be carpooling from St. Ambrose, or feel free to bring your family. Free tickets are required.
If you plan on carpooling with FIAT, you’ll need to fill out and return the Real Music Permission Form by April 18th. We’ll include you in our group ticket count.
