The Harlem Wizards entertainment basketball team will appear April 19 in Redlands at a fundraising event hosted by Redlands Educational Partnership.
The Wizards will play against a team made up of Redlands Unified School District teachers, principals and administrators in the Redlands East Valley High School gym, 31000 E. Colton Ave. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the game will begin at 7 p.m.
Proceeds will benefit Redlands Educational Partnership, a nonprofit founded in 1987 that supports education in the Redlands Unified School District through a variety of programs.
The event will feature a variety of interactive extras to complement the Wizards’ demonstration of hoops artistry, including a pregame “Wiz Kids” warm-up, contests, comedy, slam dunks and audience participation.
Redlands Community Hospital is partnering with Redlands Educational Partnership in sponsoring the game.
