The Harlem Superstars game at the Bath Middle School was a huge success.  Some have said that the Bath Middle School has never held more people than it did on March 25th 2k10!  The game was scheduled to start at 6:30pm and by that time the gym was absolutely jam packed, kids sitting on the floor, standing room in the lobby and there was still a line out to the parking lot!  We had to turn a ton of people away unfortunately.  It was a fundraiser for my new charity, “White Shadow Outreach.”  It was alot of work but it was worth every single minute.  I was able to make a donation of half of my proceeds to a great local charity, The Odyssey of the Mind.  From the honor guard to Ed Hall’s Martial Arts Demonstration Team to the Woolwich Wildcat cheerleaders and the fun personalities on The Dream Team, it could not have gone any better! Looking forward to next year’s game.

I couldn’t be more excited about working with the brand new NBA developmental team, “The Maine Red Claws” as the team’s MC. The Red Claws are the D-league team  for the Boston Celtics and the Charlotte Bobcats. During our inaugural season we sold out every single game in our 3,200 seat expo arena and have become a model of success for other Nba Developmental league teams. It’s such an honor to be a part of history as Nba basketball has taken the state of Maine by storm!  It’s a perfect fit for me and a dream come true to have the opportunity to work with the NBA.  I’ll be the on court MC/entertainer for all of the Red Claws upcoming home games.  

The salt in his shoes~the Michael Jordan story

Earlier this week I had opportunity to read “The Salt in his Shoes”~ the Michael Jordan story, to the 3rd grade boys at Phippsburg elementary school the other day.  Jordan’s story can be a very powerful tool to talk to kids about the values of hard work, perseverance and never giving up on your dreams and goals.  After reading the book, I shared some things with the boys that have helped me and they were very receptive.  We had a great time and I look forward to coming back next month to visit with the 4th graders.

Come  out  and  join myself, DJ Creamer and Martial Arts legend, Master Ed Hall, for an afternoon of fun games and contests for kids of all ages! We are celebrating Bath’s Citizen Involvement Day as we get the kids in the community together to collect non perishable donations for the Bath soup kitchen.  [Read the rest of this entry...]

We had a great turnout at this year’s Jason Christ Court!  We had pizza, ice cream, games for all the kids, lots of give aways including ‘White Shadow’ tee shirts, dvds, pictures and basketballs. 

 More importantly, I was able to talk to the kids about the dangers of bullying and peer pressure, as well as the rewards of caring for others and befriending those in need, through the powerful story of the young man to whom the Maritime basketball courts were dedicated three years ago.

 Jason was widely known for his concern for others and often called “a superman for the underdogs” in his school and community.  I was fortunate enough to work with Jason for 4 years and I’m just trying to keep his memory alive by recognizing  members of the community and students from area schools, selected for the embodiment of Jason’s ideals.  We were able to raise money for the “Help a Kid Foundation” which funds after school activities for children in the community, through a silent auction and raffle.  William Shuttleworth spoke from the heart to the kids and let us know a little bit about his foundation which is currently supporting over 250 children in the area.

We had a great camp last week!  Here’s a few pictures. One of our daily themes was “giving back” so everyone turned in an idea for our camp to give back in our community in some way. We decided that instead of choosing one of the ideas, that I read the next day, we’d use all of them [Read the rest of this entry...]

We had a great time at the Bath Heritage days! It was so cool to see our community together and celebrate the 4th.  It was such a great atmosphere.  Local musicians, people raising money for all kinds of good causes, kids running around and playing everywhere.  I love our little town! Had a great weekend out there with the kids.  Thank you Big Brothers Big Sisters for your support!

Hands down, the highlight of my career has been performing under the bright lights of the Nba’s All Star Weekend.  This is the biggest showtime basketball stage on the planet and this year’s festivities in Phoenix were simply amazing. The Nba brings in some of the top basketball tricksters from all over the world to perform at Jam Session and I was fortunate enough to be invited back again this year.  The best basketball players in the world come together one weekend a year to razzle and dazzle their fans with a creative flair like none other in the sports world! This year I had the privilege of not only performing with the Nba’s Jam Session once again but also doing fundraisers for The Phoenix Children’s Hospital and a new sneaker company called, “Protege” founded by several Nba and Nfl stars.
