This January, basketball isn't just about competition and high-flying dunks; it's about honor, service, and unity. Mark your calendars for the MLK P.EA.C.E. basketball showcase slated for Saturday, January 17, where hoops and community spirit intertwine at West Charlotte High School. An early bird discount tempts sports aficionados and unity advocates alike to snag their tickets sooner rather than later for a full day of basketball action starting at 10 a.m.
Organized by Back To The Basics, a nonprofit that levels the playing field for youth from varying economic backgrounds, by providing more athletic opportunities, this event celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through the unifying power of sports.
The City of Charlotte Government turned to social media to amplify the event’s message, encouraging the community to come together—"Celebrate unity, watch some hoops and support a good cause all at once."
