CCTC Student to face Harlem Ambassadors
Central Carolina student Brandon Fletcher will take the court as part of a local team that faces the Harlem Ambassadors in a charity basketball game on Tuesday night. The internationally-acclaimed Harlem Ambassadors will be visiting Kershaw County for a game at Camden High School on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 6:30 p.m.The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of Harlem-style basketball, featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks and hilarious comedy routines.
The Ambassadors feature non-stop laughs and deliver a positive message for kids wherever the Ambassadors play. "At our shows, we want the kids to know that they’re part of our team too," Coach Ladè Majic said. "We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat during the show, and get involved in all of the fun stuff we do."
The Ambassadors set themselves apart from other "Harlem-style" basketball teams by working with local not-for-profit and service organizations and holding Harlem Ambassadors shows as community fundraising events. For Kershaw County event the Ambassadors have partnered with the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center.
The Ambassadors have worked extensively with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters and American Red Cross as well as Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs in communities throughout the U.S., and perform more than 200 shows a year. Those shows have helped raise millions of dollars – an accomplishment of which Ambassadors President Dale Moss is very proud.
