Entertainers Basketball Classic CEO, Gregory Marius is inviting you to participate in EBC’s second annual tripleheader celebrity and All-Star basketball extravaganza at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, July 23, 2006. The EBC, the famous basketball tournament that has operated out of Holcombe Rucker Memorial Park for over 25 years, makes its return to The World’s Most Famous Arena after a successful premiere last summer. This year’s game will benefit DKMS, a bone marrow donor center. Gregory Marius, on behalf, of EBC, has generously donated $75,000 to the charity. DKMS’ mission is to save the lives of people suffering from leukemia and other life-threatening blood diseases by recruiting potential donors. Over 35,000 patients in the U.S. could benefit from bone marrow transplant, yet only about 2,000 find a match. A possible cure is out there for all, yet only few find a suitable match. Strong supporters of DKMS, Jennifer Lopez and Hip-Hop Icon Darryl McDaniels, DMC of Run-DMC constantly raise awareness about the shortage of minority donors. For more information regarding DKMS log on to www.dkmsamericas.org. If you are interested in participating, please complete the form on the link or call the following numbers. Spots for the game are going fast. No one has commented on this article. Please login or register to post comments. J! Reactions • General Site License Copyright © 2006 S. A. DeCaro
