The Harlem Wizards are coming to Stockbridge!
The Harlem Wizards, the most interactive, fun, community basketball event in the world is coming to Stockbridge, Michigan.
The world-famous Harlem Wizards will visit Stockbridge Jr/Sr High School on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 for an evening of great fun and fundraising. The Wizards will play a game against a team of Stockbridge Community School District teachers, principals, and community leaders. The event is a fundraiser for Stockbridge Athletic Boosters.
The energy at a Wizards game is electric. The laughter is infectious. The dunks are rim-rattling, high-flying and awe-inspiring. The hoop artistry, ball-handling, tricks and teamwork are mesmerizing.
What really takes it to another level is the hometown participation from the kids on court experiences, to the teachers, principals and other community leaders who take on the Wizards as the “hometown heroes”. Besides cheering for their teachers, the kids are involved all night long. They will all have a chance to get on the court!
Pre-game, any child or teen with a Wizards jersey can warm-up with the Wizards! Throughout the game audience members will be asked to volunteer in different contests and acts. And the end of night final moments includes an invitation to all students to come onto the court for a dance celebration with the Wizards.
The experience at a Wizards game is the community, the school coming together for a night of good, pure fun and excitement and it’s a fundraiser.
The event will feature a variety of fun interactive extras to complement the Wizards’ dazzling demonstration of hoops artistry: Pregame “Wiz Kids” warm-up, contests, comedy, awesome slam dunks, audience participation, merchandise giveaways, and more. The game will conclude with the Wizards’ signature dance celebration that will have the parents on their feet and the kids moving to the beat!
“We are thrilled to host the Wizards again,” says Brian Friddle, Stockbridge Community Schools Superintendent. “The last event we did with them was a huge success, and we look forward to more Wizards’ magic!”
Founded in 1962, the Wizards have played over 15,000 games throughout the US that have raised over $25 million for schools and charitable causes. The Wizards have also played in over 25 foreign countries on six continents.
