38th ANNUAL “CITY GAME”
TO TAKE PLACE APRIL 15 2008


The 38th Annual “City Game” will be held at John Jay College, 445 West 59th Street, April 17, beginning at 6 p.m. with the girl’s game, followed at 8 p.m. by the boy’s game.

The City Game was started in the early 70’s as a showcase All-Star event for the best New York high school basketball players with qualifying GPA’s and SAT’s scores. The Game is a platform for student/athletes to get scholarships into colleges and universities across the country, and also helps to raise funds on behalf of the more than 10,000 young people the Sports Foundation serves in the greater New York City area. Many of the former participants, including Len Elmore, Bernard King, Mike Dunleavy, Rolando Blackman, and World B. Free, had outstanding college and professional careers.

The Sports Foundation, located in the South Bronx, is a not-for-profit 501 C(3) community based corporation established in 1969 as a model youth organization that utilizes sports, leadership and program participation as a vehicle to foster youth involvement in anti-substance abuse educational, cultural and positive alternative activities.
