Originators of basketball style and skilled athletes
of the highest order, The Harlem Globetrotters are teaming up with The National
Police Athletic League to support hurricane relief efforts in Louisiana. Harlem
Globetrotter's Nate "Big Easy" Lofton is more than ready to put his hands to
work and tidy up the community.
Lofton, along with Jeff Hood, CEO of The National
Police Athletic League, will be at the First Baptist Church of Golden Meadow,
located at 187 Oakridge Dr. in Golden Meadow, La., this Friday, September 24 at
11 a.m. to help clean up the area and deliver storm aid.
Since their founding in 1926, the world-famous Harlem
Globetrotters were never short of presenting their amazing talent in 124
countries and territories on six continents. What motivates them is their
desire to spread game and entertainment to the world. How many of you know that
they popularized the jump shot, slam dunk, and invented the half-court hook
shot? Talk about innovation!
The mission of PAL is to prevent juvenile crime and
violence by providing mentorship, civic service, athletics, recreational enrichment,

cops, building relationships with them all. PAL provides the necessary tools
and resources that will allow others who want to get on board to create
