Greenwood teachers and administrators will take on a professional entertainment basketball team in to raise money for the Greenwood PTO.
The Harlem Wizards will play educators at 6:30 p.m. on April 7 at Greenwood Community High School, 615 Smith Valley Road, Greenwood.
Funds from the game will go to the Greenwood school district.
Debi Baugh, PTO fundraising co-chairwoman, tells you what you need to know.
How much are tickets?
Ten dollars in advance for general admission, $12 at the door for general admission; $18 for reserved seating (special reserved seating close to the court); $30 for Courtside Plus (courtside seating, 10 minute meet-and-greet with two to three Wizards, souvenir lanyard, free team photo, and $10 discount on Wizards replica jersey).
Who is playing?
The Greenwood All Stars — teachers from all elementary schools and middle school, and our superintendent.
What other events are planned?
At the game, we will have a 50/50 raffle and will be raffling off a Wizards jersey, Wizards full-size basketball, and Wizards cinch sack full of souvenirs.
Where does the money raised go?
They money will benefit the students and classrooms of Greenwood Community students at each of the elementary schools and the middle school.
Why was this show something you wanted to do?
We wanted to host a fundraiser for our school, but also liked the idea of having a fun event for the whole community. This is something different that we have never done before. The students will be able to see principals, teachers and staff from their own school out on the court with the Wizards, and I think they will love it.
