News items 2026 part 4
Tank-Eye hosted its very first WISH-NL event!
To kick things off, we planned an inspiring evening around an important basketball home game at Rotterdam City Basketball. Unfortunately, due to a technical issue between the timeboard and the buzzer, the game itself couldn’t take place - and no, this was not an April Fool’s joke 😉.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, the atmosphere was great, the conversations were even better and we truly enjoyed spending the evening together.
A big thank you to all the amazing women who joined us. We’re already looking forward to rescheduling the event - and of course, to that long‑awaited rematch! 🏀
