The Harlem Ambassadors will challenge the Jamestown PTA PlayMakers at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22, in the McElrath Gymnasium at Jamestown High School.

The event is a fundraiser for the Jamestown City Council Parent/Teacher/Student Association to raise money for the nine Jamestown PTA’s and the Jamestown CCPTSA Scholarship Fund.

“We have scoured the region for skilled — and sometimes unskilled — players to take on the powerful Ambassadors,” said Carrie Graham, CCPTSA president. “What our team lacks in skill, they make up for in heart. Buy your tickets today and you’ll be able to witness how our enthusiastic local talent stacks up against the Ambassadors. It’s going to be match-up we won’t soon forget.”

The Jamestown PTA PlayMakers are led by coach Ken Ricker and the team includes Maceo Wofford, Paul Abbott, Jamestown Public Schools board president; Scott Forester of the Jamestown Police Department, Nick Amatuzzo of the Jamestown Fire Department, Joe Michishima of the Jamestown YMCA, Shawn Hricko from Cummins Jamestown Engine Plant Jamestown Public School teachers and staff including Sara and Richie Joly, Alan Thomas, Kari Cunningham, Danielle Smith and Brad Peterson.

The Harlem Ambassadors’ show features high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks, comedy, music, dancing, games with children in the audience and free autographs after the show.

The Harlem Ambassadors have performed more than 2,800 comedy basketball shows as fundraising and community entertainment events for non-profit organizations, the U.S. military and community service groups since 1998. Its events have helped raise more than $10 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.

“We’re proud to give communities quality family entertainment that parents, grandparents and kids can enjoy together and make memories that last a lifetime,” said Dale Moss, Harlem Ambassadors president. “Even people who aren’t basketball fans love our show because it’s two hours of fun and laughter for a great cause. Plus, where else can you see your neighbor, your co-worker, your granddaughter’s coach, or your son’s teacher play against professional athletes? This is an event you do not want to miss.”
