STORY
HARLEM AMBASSADORS ENTERTAIN AUDIENCES WORLDWIDE & PROVIDE COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Harlem Ambassadors provides fundraising and entertainment events to non-profit organizations, community groups, and the U.S. military.
In 1997 sports management and marketing executive Dale Moss and Lade Majic, an accomplished woman basketball player working overseas, formed Harlem Ambassadors, a small business with a big mission: to provide non-profit and community service groups with comedy basketball shows they can use as fun, family-friendly fundraising events. All the money raised from these events stays in the local community where the event is performed to fund community service projects and assist people in need. Moss and Majic assembled a team of young African-American men and women who have played college basketball, earned college degrees, are talented comedians and basketball players, and are good citizens and positive role models for kids.
During the first season in 1998, the Ambassadors performed 30 fundraising events. The first Harlem Ambassadors game was played in Mountain Home, ID, on Oct. 10, 1998. Over the years, the Harlem Ambassadors' tour schedule has included events in all 50 states in the U.S. and in 20 countries, including tours to Pearl Harbor, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sarejevo, Korea, Japan, the Marshall Islands, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, Germany, England, Mexico, and Canada.
The Harlem Ambassadors show is quality family entertainment and is fun for audiences of all ages, from kids to kids-at-heart. Families laugh together at the Harlem Ambassadors' hijinks and are amazed at their high-flying slam dunks and comic antics. The Ambassadors play against a team comprised of people from the local community, adding to the fun and spontaneity of the show and making every event one-of-a-kind.
The Ambassadors also speak to youth through "Stay in School, Stay off Drugs, Don't be a Bully" school assemblies and encourage students to set goals, demonstrate good moral character, respect themselves and others, not be a bully, and avoid negative influences like drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure that can prevent them from achieving their dreams. They show kids that through hard work and dedication, they can overcome obstacles and lead meaningful lives helping others -- as professional athletes -- or in any profession they aspire to pursue.
In addition to providing fundraising events, the Harlem Ambassadors entertain the troops at U.S. military bases overseas and at home.
Harlem Ambassadors Productions, Inc. kicked off its 17th season in September and will entertain crowds and help raise funds for community organizations in over 200 locations and will perform 300+ school assemblies in 2014-15. Learn more about Harlem Ambassadors at www.harlemambassadors.com.
