Junior Kings Exhibition Game April 7th
A group of 5 Communication Students from the University of New Mexico are working in conjunction with the Albuquerque Junior Kings Basketball Team to host an exhibition game with the Junior Kings.
The exhibition is intended to raise awareness for an amazing program for disabled youth in Albuquerque and provide a venue for the youth to compete against volunteers from the community. Volunteers will be playing in chairs for the day. Prizes and competitions will be part of the fun for spectators. Admission is free however; donations to the Albuquerque Kings will be accepted. The event is an extraordinary chance to showcase the youth’s talents and raise community awareness.
On Saturday, April 7th, 2012 the tournament will take place at 11am and the Job Corps facilities on Indian School west of 12th Street.
For more information on the hearing or the subject matter, please contact Kathy James.
