Harlem Wizards Event in New Britain to Benefit New Britain Students

The Harlem Wizards comedic basketball team are to face off against the “Hurricane Hoopers”, a team of New Britain teachers in a ‘game’ to raise funds for educational programming and scholarships for New Britain students.

The event is to be on April 23, 2024 at 6:30pm at New Britain High School.

The Consolidated School District of New Britain says that,

A Wizards show is an event that combines aspects of big-time productions with a hometown community flair. This is much more than just a basketball game. The night is funny, theatrical, exciting, and spectacular, and the gym will reverberate with oohs and aahs, laughter, enthusiasm, and much, much more.

“The best part?,” the school district says, “This game is a fundraiser for the NBHS Academies. A portion of every ticket sold directly supports our own students through various learning opportunities and scholarships for New Britain students. And guess who the Wizards are playing? Your own New Britain teachers!”

Tickets are available online. “Make sure you select 4.23.24 @ New Britain on the tickets calendar,” the school district says. “Don’t wait, get your tickets now before this game sells out!”

The district adds, “Be on the lookout! The Wizards are scheduled to stop by several elementary schools over the next couple of weeks for a preview performance.”
