Tickets are now on sale for the return of the Harlem Wizards to Riverhead set on Thursday, Nov. 12 in the third annual Harlem Wizards Scholarship Fundraiser. The action starts at 6:45 p.m. at the Riverhead High School gym.
The razzle-dazzle basketball team has played to a sold-out house in both of its prior appearances at Riverhead High School, where they take on a team put together by the Riverhead Central Faculty Association, sponsor and host of the event.
There are also 30 “Courtside Plus” tickets available for $25 each. Courtside Plus tickets grant holders to a special meet-and-greet with the alley-oopers before the game in addition to court-side seats. a
Organizers caution that tickets will likely not be available at the door, as they expect this year’s event to sell out in advance just as in has in past years game.
Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Harlem Wizards website, Duffy’s Deli in Jamesport, Riverhead Saf-T-Swim and through each school building’s PTO. Courtside Plus tickets are available exclusively at the Wizards website.
Students at all of the district’s K-8 buildings will get a special treat when Harlem Wizards players make appearances on Oct. 22 with an interactive Anti-Bullying Program.
