Harlem Ambassadors Tour Coming To Molokai

Molokai Chamber of Commerce News Release

We are pleased to announce that the Molokai Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the Harlem Ambassadors on Tuesday May 20, at 6:30 p.m. at the Barn at Molokai High School. Hoops and hijinks are on their way as our very own local challengers, the Molokai All-Stars, take on the Harlem Ambassadors in a comedy basketball show the whole family will enjoy.

The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of Harlem-style basketball, featuring high-flying slam dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks, hilarious comedy routines, music, dancing and games for the kids.

“At our shows, we want the kids to know that they’re part of our team too,” Coach Ladè Majic said. “We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat during the show, and get involved in all of the fun stuff we do.”

“We have assembled a team of highly skilled players made up of people from our community and even a couple of special guests to take on the powerful Ambassadors,” said Chamber President Rob Stephenson. “We invite you to come to the game and bring your family to cheer on our awesome local talent and help bring our community together with this positive and entertaining event.”

The Harlem Ambassadors have performed more than 2,400 professional comedy basketball games as fundraising and community entertainment events for non-profit organizations, the U.S. military and community service groups since 1998. These events have helped raise over $9 million for communities in 50 states and 20 countries. The Ambassadors have appeared at Pearl Harbor, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sarejevo, Korea, Japan, the Marshall Islands, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Georgia, Mexico, Germany, England and Canada.

It’s a night filled with laughter, comedy and slam dunks, all to benefit the local community.”

Tickets are on sale at Rawlins Chevron, MCFCU and the Molokai High School Office. There are also sponsorship opportunities available for interested businesses, organizations and individuals.
