ALBION – The Harlem Wizards are coming to Albion’s Charles D’Amico High School gymnasium on Monday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m.

The Albion Basketball Boosters invites the community out for a fun-filled, interactive evening of tricks, hoops and alley-oops. The Wizards were in Albion most recently in October 2019.

Albion teachers will face off on the court against the world-famous Wizards where there will be plenty of laughs, music, dancing and dunks. Partial proceeds will benefit the Albion Basketball Booster Club which supports the Albion basketball teams.

“We are so thrilled to bring this event back to our community,” said Jeff Radder, Albion boys JV basketball coach and Basketball Boosters member. “We hope our community will consider bringing their friends and families out to experience the incredible show the Wizards put on. It is always a night to remember and our basketball teams truly appreciate the support.”

Tickets can be purchased on the Albion website. More information about the Harlem Wizards can be found on their website.
