09/07: Hoopin' It Up for Youth
In 1990, the Charlie Mack Celebrity Basketball Game started as a simple charitable benefit event; since then, it's grown and evolved into the weekend-long Party 4 Peace, benefiting and bringing together organizations that work in a variety of ways to help young people live without fear and violence.
One of the most proven methods of doing just that is by encouraging educational achievement, and Scholarship America is pleased to be participating in this year's Party 4 Peace to do so. While she won't be playing ball in the celebrity game alongside NBAers Rudy Gay, Jameer Nelson and Elton Brand, Scholarship America's own Marian Marchese will be appearing at the Love for the Kids luncheon and panel discussion on Saturday, July 12 in Philadelphia. The luncheon will feature speakers from a number of organizations as well as kids from 12-16, and focus on peace and what to do to achieve it.
