Harlem Wizards to Face Mansfield Teams to Benefit Schools

The Harlem Wizards are coming back to town to play against the Mansfield Hornet All-Stars.  On Saturday, April 9, a team made up of parents, community leaders and students will take to the court at Mansfield High School gym to play a charity basketball game against the Harlem Wizards, all to benefit Mansfield public schools.  

This event is organized by MESA, Mansfield Elementary School Association, as a fundraiser for the local schools. 

“This is a great way to bring the community together to help raise much needed funds for our schools,” said MESA president Kiera O’Neil.  Co-President Tammi Kassler, agreed, “we hope Mansfield families will provide a strong turnout to cheer on some of their favorite friends in town. “

Because of the  success of last year’s game, MESA was able to buy smartboards for classrooms in the elementary schools.  Game time is 7 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) with tickets on sale at Learning Express until Thursday, April 7. Prices are $10 for children/seniors ($12 at the door) and $12 general admission ($15 at the door). Refreshments and souvenirs will also be on sale   If your company would like to sponsor the game or donate to the raffle, contact Kassler at mesaharlemwizards@yahoo.com
