The Dahntay Jones Foundation Hosts Free Mini Basketball Camp for Memphis Youth

Memphis, TN, January 31, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Dahntay Jones Foundation will host it’s first mini basketball camp for Memphis youth on Tuesday, January 31st at 3:00 pm at the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis, TN. Invited participants include student athletes from Vance and Westside Middle Schools.

This mini camp is the beginning of a series of free events that will take place at various schools and recreation centers in the New Jersey, Philadelphia and Memphis communities.

The primary objective however, is the message that Jones will deliver to these young people about the importance of education, and remaining focused and positive to reach their goals.
