Coaches for Change was formed in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police. The organization’s co-vice presidents are Del Harris of Collegiate and Stephen Lewis of St. Christopher’s.
“We want to continue to make progress and move forward,” Harris said. “We will continue to press forward using sports as a platform to address all issues affecting those in our community — including mental health, racial inequality, conflict resolution and support uplifting the voices of our young people.”
“We look forward to continuing to inspire all and create positive change throughout the community,” Lewis said.
Tickets, available only at the door, are $12 per day and $20 for a three-day book.
