Dubbed the “Rucker of the South” the SJG Greater North Carolina Pro-AM basketball league is the premiere venue for showcasing some of today’s top basketball talent. In its third summer season, the league boasts players like Josh Powell of the Atlanta Hawks, Ty Lawson of the Denver Nuggets, and seasoned NBA veteran Jerry Stackhouse. Come ball with Rock the Vote at the Pro-AM this Thursday from 5:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. and on August 8 for the tournament’s championship game while we register people to vote and collect pledges to vote in the upcoming midterm election! The games take place at North Carolina Central University in the McLendon-McDougald Gymnasium. Click here to RSVP!
After making sure you’re ready to vote, you’re in for a real show on the court. Each year this league hosts an awesome mix of professional athletes, collegiate players and high school all-stars on Greater NC Pro-AM teams. Along with amazing displays of sportsmanship and athleticism, the Greater NC Pro-AM provides grassroots mentoring from professional athletes to local high school and college athletes. In addition, the league welcomes local nonprofits to engage attendees and to help them get active in their own communities.
