Kids charity. It is through celebrity basketball games like the one against the Christ the King School faculty that they are able to raise funds so they can send under-privileged children to summer basketball camps and clinics. The charity was founded in 1994 by former Harlem Globetrotters to positively influence and motivate today's youth. |
