The Harlem Globetrotters will donate a portion of proceeds from all games played Jan. 22-24 to a UNICEF charity benefiting earthquake victims in Haiti. Lucky for you, two of the seven games being played by the world-famous hoopsters can be enjoyed right here in West Michigan.
If you are around East Lansing, they will be playing at 7 p.m. at the Breslin Center on Sat., Jan. 23. Tickets range in price from $16-$78.
If that doesn't work for you, try the 2 p.m game at Grand Rapid's Van Andel Arena on Sun., Jan. 24. Tickets range from $19.25-$83.25.
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that have so ravaged Haiti, and our hearts are with them,” said Globetrotters CEO Kurt Schneider. “On behalf of our players and fans around the world, we pledge to support them in any way possible during this unspeakably difficult time.”
The magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on Tues. leveling the capital city and leaving aide organizations struggling to reach the 3 million people in need. This is a great, fun way to get some dinero to that cause. The games are family friendly and loads of fun.
If you can't make either game, there are other ways for you to help, including a direct donation to UNICEF or the American Red Cross.
