Unity in the Community: Proactive Event to Facilitate the Change That is Needed in Our Communities
Unity in the Community is a free event with NBA coaches, players, local legends, and others putting on a clinic then games for 9th - 12th graders playing with policemen and firemen as coaches. We believe that it is only when people get to know each other as people rather than by race or occupation, that is when true change will happen. A mentoring program following the event will further solidify relationships, allowing the law enforcement to know the people in the communities where they serve.
