TONIGHT! - The Harlem Wizards
The world-famous Harlem Wizards, brought to you by GVSD Education Foundation, are returning to Great Valley High School on Friday, March 10, 2023 at 7:00 pm for an evening of interactive community based fun and fundraising. The Wizards will play a game against a team of GV teachers, principals and community leaders.
The energy at a Wizards game is electric. The laughter is infectious. The dunks are rim-rattling, high-flying and awe-inspiring. The hoop artistry, ball-handling, tricks and teamwork are mesmerizing.
What really takes it to another level is the community participation from the kids on court experiences, to the home team, who take on the Wizards as the “hometown heroes”. Besides cheering for their teachers, the kids are involved all night long. They will all have a chance to get on the court!
