Professional
Sports & Entertainment Worlds Join Forces At The Las Vegas
NBA All-star Week, Youth Benefit Concert & Awards Gala
February
14 - 15, 2007 For
"Youth At Risk"
Production is underway for the first "Las
Vegas NBA All Star Week Youth Benefit Concert", February
14 - 15, 2007. Las Vegas will be the official host city for
the National Basketball Association's 2007 All-star Game.
This is the first time in the history of the NBA that a nonmember
NBA city will host the coveted All-star Game. As a result,
over 200 Global News sources, 120,000 tourists and millions
of regional fans are expected to impact Vegas to the tune
of over $100 million.
"Youth Benefit" founders and event
organizers have set out to establish an annual sanctioned
fundraiser for disadvantaged youth, at the epicenter of
this otherwise big ticket, over the top yearly NBA celebration
of wealth, power, fame and fortune.
As expected, Las Vegas and the NBA have
set out to produce the most lavish and spectacular NBA All-star
Week in history. We set a similar goal for charity. Las
Vegas Mayor, Oscar Goodman has met with local event planners
and agreed to support efforts and endorse plans such as
the "All-star Week Youth Benefit" that set out
to specifically benefit youth charities during the midst
of all the hype.
Seven-time producer
of the critically acclaimed, FOX Televised, NAACP Image
Awards, Ms.
Ernestine Peters is
producing the benefit. She envisions an annual event, right
in the middle of each NBA All-star Week, that offers a quality,
high-profile platform for the 'built-in" celebrity
fan base and sports luminaries crowd.
Event CO-Chair, Dr.
Cecil "Chip" Murray, former LA Pastor
of First AME Church, current USC Keck School of Medicine
Board Member and Urban leader feels the "All-star Week
Youth Benefit" is an absolute Godsend. Dr. Murray believes
that; "There is simply no greater calling in life for
man or woman than to answer the call to help benefit impoverished
youth." He feels the All-star Week offers a very unique
opportunity to rally support for programs that benefit "Youth
at Risk".
We've all seen what it's like to be a victim
of life through poverty, abuse, natural catastrophe and
hardship. The Las Vegas NBA All-star Week - Youth Benefit
is a new partnership that will help youth overcome such
hardship annually. This is a great branding opportunity
for all sponsors who are committed to "Youth at Risk".
