Wilmington’s hometown hero, Meadowlark Lemon, is returning to his home city with MEADOWLARK LEMON’S HARLEM ALL STARS_TM for basketball games at 7:00pm on Friday, August 27^th and Saturday, August 28^th at the Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) Schwartz Center.

 

A never before seen event, MEADOWLARK LEMON’S HARLEM ALL STARS_TM with all- stars Hollywood Brown and Pee Wee Harrison, will compete against two opposing teams: Friday’s game against area high schools, CFCC, UNCW and the Sea Dawgs basketball coaches. Saturday’s game is against crewmembers of the USS GRAVELY (Naval Destroyer set to be commissioned in Wilmington on November 20, 2010) including Commander Douglas Kunzman.

 

Known as the “Clown Prince of Basketball,” Meadowlark has thrilled millions of fans with his basketball skills and slapstick comedy. A gifted athlete and hilarious comedian, he was the most popular member of the most beloved sports team in history – the Harlem Globetrotters. A native of Wilmington, North Carolina, he attended Williston Industrial High School before his recruitment to the Harlem Globetrotters.

 

This event promotes patriotism, charity and hometown pride! A portion of the proceeds from the MEADOWLARK LEMON’S HARLEM ALL STARS_TM will establish scholarships, which include the cost for books, to student athletes at Cape Fear Community College.
