The Harlem Ambas­sadors offer a unique brand of Harlem-style bas­ket­ball, fea­tur­ing high-flying slam dunks, daz­zling ball-handling tricks and hilar­i­ous com­edy rou­tines, fea­tur­ing non-stop laughs and deliv­ing a pos­i­tive mes­sage for kids wher­ever the Ambas­sadors play.

“At our shows, we want the kids to know that they’re part of our team too,” Coach Ladè Majic said. “We invite as many kids as we can to come sit on the bench, have a front row seat dur­ing the show, and get involved in all of the fun stuff we do.”

The Ambas­sadors set them­selves apart from other “Harlem-style” bas­ket­ball teams by work­ing with local not-for-profit and ser­vice orga­ni­za­tions and hold­ing Harlem Ambas­sadors shows as com­mu­nity fundrais­ing events. For this event, the Ambas­sadors have part­nered with The United Way of Mor­row County to help raise funds for their annual campaign..

The Ambas­sadors have worked exten­sively with orga­ni­za­tions such as Habi­tat for Human­ity, Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Broth­ers Big Sis­ters and Amer­i­can Red Cross as well as Rotary, Lions and Kiwa­nis clubs in com­mu­ni­ties through­out the U.S., and per­form more than 200 shows a year. Those shows have helped raise mil­lions of dol­lars – an accom­plish­ment of which Ambas­sadors Pres­i­dent Dale Moss is very proud.

“It feels good to be able to pro­vide qual­ity enter­tain­ment and cre­ate mem­o­ries that the fans will take with them,” Moss explained. “We’re able to give even more when we can help pro­vide fund­ing for a Habi­tat for Human­ity house or new com­put­ers for the school library, and that feels great.”

Pro­ceeds ben­e­fit the United Way of Mor­row County.
