Angela Yee and Allan Houston will headline a free youth basketball and mentorship event in Times Square on Aug. 17, organizers said.
The daylong event, called Community Thru Hoops, runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. It kicks off with a live broadcast of Way Up with Angela Yee on Power 105.1. Houston, a New York Knicks legend, will lead a free youth basketball clinic in partnership with his FISLL program, which stands for Faith, Integrity, Sacrifice, Leadership & Legacy. Organizers said the clinic mixes elite instruction with leadership messaging.
“Community Thru Hoops represents what is possible when sports, media, business and community unite around a common purpose,” Tameek Floyd, CEO of Three K3ys Inc., said in a press release. His company organized the event with Pathways to Abundance, a nonprofit.
The program also includes a youth basketball showcase, a dunk contest, live DJs, interactive fan experiences, games, prizes, giveaways, and local business activations. Three K3ys Inc. focuses on sports, entertainment, and community engagement through athletics and education. Pathways to Abundance works on education, mentorship, wellness, and economic opportunity.
The event is free and open to the public. It takes place in Times Square on Monday, Aug. 17.
