Toronto Raptor Vince Carter announced Thursday that the Vince Carter Charity All-Star Game presented by Air Canada, which has dazzled a sold out Air Canada Centre each of the past two years, returns to Toronto on Friday, August 1 of Caribana Weekend. Proceeds from the game will go to Vince Carter’s Embassy of Hope Foundation, benefiting children at risk in the Greater Toronto Area.
“In the past two years, the city of Toronto has been a great supporter of the Charity All-Star Game,” said Carter. “Together we have raised more than half a million dollars with our last two charity games and currently hold the NBA league attendance record for this type of event. Toronto has the best fans in the NBA and their support of this event proves it. I hope they’ll be out again for another exciting game. It’s a great way to kick off the Caribana celebrations and to help the community.”
The Vince Carter Charity All-Star Game provides high-energy excitement with a lot of show-boating by both the players and the entertainers. This free-wheeling, high-flying style of game showcases the players’ athleticism in an atmosphere is charged by the latest hip-hop beats, provided by one of Toronto’s top DJs.
Past years have featured players such as Antawn Jamison, Ray Allen, Michael Finley and Alonzo Mourning. Past entertainers have included Toronto’s own hip-hop sensation Kardinal Offishall and vocalist Glenn Lewis, as well as one of the Original Kings Of Comedy – Cedric the Entertainer.
“This game has a real party atmosphere – between the play, the music and the entertainment – it’s a really fun night,” added Carter.
Carter confirmed that he has invited a number of high-profile NBA players, and that he has been in touch with some exciting entertainers, which he plans to announce at a later date.
