The Everett High athletic department, in conjunction with various alumni, will be hosting a 3-on-3 basketball tournament Saturday at the high school to raise money for an Everett family which lost its home in a March 17 fire.

Moise ‘Mo’ St. Fleur and his family lost everything they own when their Maine Street home burned to the ground nine days ago. St. Fleur has been a volunteer assistant to many of the Everett teams since 2003 and the community has rallied around him.

‘‘He was always such a great kid to us that doing this was a no-brainer type situation,’’ said Frankie Nuzzo, the former Everett High player who has led the efforts. ‘‘This has been one of the most effortless fundraisers I’ve ever been involved in. Everyone wants to help.’’

Nuzzo hopes the event, which has a $60 per-team entry fee, will raise enough money to help the family back on its feet.

The tournament will start at 2 p.m. and feature the Celtics Dancers, as well as provide food and entertainment.
