Harlem Ambassadors Basketball Show March 17 in Fort Morgan

***Press Release***

Hoops and hilarity are coming to Fort Morgan on March 17, 2014 when our very own local challengers, the Fort Morgan Rotary Roundballers, take on the Harlem Ambassadors in a comedy basketball show the whole family will enjoy. The show starts at 7:00 p.m. at Fort Morgan High School Gymnasium.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Fort Morgan Rotary Club and will be used to youth and community projects.

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 Ladè Majic said. “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.”

"We have scoured Morgan County for skilled, and sometimes unskilled, players to take on the powerful Ambassadors," said a spokesperson for the Roundballers. "Come to the game and cheer on our enthusiastic local talent."

The Harlem Ambassadors have performed more than 2,400 professional comedy basketball games as fundraising and community 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.

"Every Harlem Ambassadors game is one-of-a-kind because the Ambassadors play against local competitors. It's a night filled with laughter, comedy and slam dunks, all to benefit the local community."
