Wesleyan basketball to sponsor "Take a Kid to the Game"

Rocky Mount, NC - The North Carolina Wesleyan men's and women's basketball teams will be sponsoring its 2007 "Take a Kid to the Game" day this coming Saturday, January 20th when the Bishops host Greensboro College.  The women tip off at 2:00 p.m. followed by the men at 4:00 p.m. in Everett Gymnasium. Youth 12 and under will be admitted free to both games and will receive promotional bracelets and posters upon arrival.

North Carolina Wesleyan is hosting one of more than 700 games that will be played across the nation this season as part of the Take A Kid to the Game program.  This project is a grass roots initiative that attracts the nation’s youth and encourages adults to take kids to area college basketball games.

 “We are pleased to extend the invitation to the community as we invite adults to bring children to experience a collegiate athletic event,” said Rikki Rich, Sports Information Director at NC Wesleyan.
