The Harlem Ambassadors will bring their unique brand of showman basketball to Kauai for two family-friendly benefit performances at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday at Kauai High School Gym, 3577 Lala Place Lihue HI 96766.
The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of Harlem-style basketball, featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks, hilarious comedy routines, music, dancing and games for the kids.
“At our shows, we want the kids to know that they’re part of our team too,” Coach Lade Majic said in a press release. “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 will take on local challengers, the Kauai All-Stars, in a comedy basketball show full of hoops and hijinks for the entire family.
Proceeds from this event will go to support leadership development programs and scholarships at Leadership Kauai, a nonprofit organization with a mission to develop future leaders.
“Leadership in sports is one of the finest role models for our youth,” said Char Ravelo, Leadership Kauai’s executive director. Individuals gain physical strength, self-confidence, self-esteem along with team-building, communication and collaboration skills. We anticipate sold out shows as many people are looking forward to this opportunity to support leadership development and enjoy this exciting basketball show fit for the whole family.”
The event is co-sponsored by Aston Aloha Beach Resort, and the County of Kauai.
The Harlem Ambassadors have performed more than 2,400 professional comedy basketball games as fundraising and entertainment events for non-profit organizations, the U.S. military and community service groups since 1998. These events have helped raise over $9 million for communities in 50 states and 20 countries.
The Ambassadors have appeared at Pearl Harbor, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sarejevo, Korea, Japan, the Marshall Islands, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Georgia, Mexico, Germany, England and Canada.
“We’re proud to give communities quality family entertainment that parents, grandparents and kids can enjoy together and create memories that last a lifetime,” Harlem Ambassadors president Dale Moss said.
