“Mini Father Knows Best Basketball Clinic/Panel Discussion & Celebrity Basketball Game”
Dallas parents and children learned what it takes to become leaders in their communities on and off the court. The “Father Knows Best” mini basketball clinic was hosted by Allen Houston and co-hosted by Dwight Howard. The objective was to inspire and provide father-sons & daughters and mentor-mentees opportunities to strengthen their relationships through high-powered basketball and dynamic panel discussion. The panel discussion included celebrity Fathers and Mentor pairs that shared their personal relationship experiences. Following the clinic was a celebrity fun filled basketball game produced by the International Children’s Support Foundation (ICF). The game was hosted by former NBA TV personality Joumanna Kidd and current NFL and ICF athlete David Tyree. Student’s and celebrities were paired on teams competing for bragging rights on the court!
More than 7,000 attend May 1st Concert focused on Hunger
More than 7,000 attended the May 1, 2010, concert with Grammy Award winning artists Toby Mac, Casting Crowns, 10th Ave North, and Caleb in Grand Prairie, Texas. The event was for raising awareness among the local community about the more than 280,000 children in Dallas County and 170,000 children in Tarrant County who face a hunger crisis this summer.
Over 2500 pack backs were distributed among attendees, who were asked to take boxes of 25 back packs each, to their church, non-profit, business, and/or families, accepting the challenge to fill the back packs with nutritional items. These back packs will be distributed to local schools and non profits who are not part of the North Texas Food Bank extensive back pack program due to a shortage of funds.
The event sponsored by radio station KLTY and Twenty Ten Mission, is the first of future partnerships with major artists in the Christian, Country, and Pop entertainment fields, that FEED 3 will hopefully utilize the public on the current hunger crisis.
