Harlem Ambassadors Exhibition Basketball Game and Show

“Harlem Ambassadors VS Hattiesburg Habitat Hoopsters”

Sponsored by Citizens National Bank 

GENERAL EVENT INFORMATION 

The internationally-acclaimed Harlem Ambassadors are coming to Hattiesburg, Mississippi for a game at William Carey University’s Clinton Gymnasium on Friday, February 12, 2010 at 7:00p.m.  The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of Harlem-style basketball, featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks and hilarious comedy routines. 

The Ambassadors set themselves apart from other “Harlem-style” basketball teams by working with local not-for-profit and service organizations and holding Harlem Ambassadors shows as community fundraising events. For Hattiesburg’s event the Ambassadors have partnered with Hattiesburg Area Habitat for Humanity to help raise funds for its affordable housing program. 

The Ambassadors have worked extensively with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity in communities throughout the U.S., and perform more than 200 shows a year. Those shows have helped raise millions of dollars – an accomplishment of which Ambassadors President Dale Moss is very proud.  “It feels good to be able to provide quality entertainment and create memories that the fans will take with them,” Moss explained. “We’re able to give even more when we can help provide funding for a Habitat for Humanity house and that feels great.”  

 Hattiesburg Area Habitat for Humanity has been helping area families build and purchase their own homes since 1990.  Hattiesburg Area Habitat works in partnership with low-income families and community volunteers to build affordable, decent housing within the Hattiesburg metropolitan area.  This affiliate has served 50 families, consisting of more than 200 individuals, in our community.
