Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. will once again be a presenting partner of the John R. Wooden Classic college basketball event.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that Toyo has sponsored the event, which will take place in Anaheim, Calif., on Dec. 12.
This year, the UCLA Bruins will face the Mississippi State Bulldogs, while the Georgetown Hoyas will face the Washington Huskies.
As part of the sponsorship, Toyo will present the Wooden Classic Scholar Athlete Award to six student-athletes. Each will receive $500 from Toyo. The tiremaker also will donate $500 to each student's school.
