The Harlem Wizards are coming back to Neshaminy!
The world-famous Harlem Wizards are coming back to Neshaminy Saturday April 14, 7 pm in Gym 3 at Neshaminy High School. The Neshaminy Education Foundation proudly presents this benefit game between the Wizards and our own Nesmaminy Dream Team made up of staff members from each of our schools. The excitement and fun last year was way over the top, and we expect even more on-court (and off-court) antics, tricks, alley-oops and pure skill on display this year. It's a great show for a great cause - supporting classroom grants and scholarships through the non-profit Neshaminy Education Foundation. Tickets are only $10 (plus a $0.99 / ticket online ticket purchase fee) and a limited number of Courtside Plus tickets will be available for $25 (these sold out last year!). Prices go up at the door so don't wait.
