Two Harlem Globetrotters will bring their goodwill to the area for one week prior to their six games in Philadelphia, Trenton, and Newark. They will visit elementary and middle schools to speak to the youth about the importance of Character, Health, Effort, Enthusiasm, and Responsibility (C.H.E.E.R.); bring smiles and laughter to the sick at various hospitals; and teach hundreds of people how to execute their world-famous trick of spinning a basketball on their finger.
Now in their 83rd consecutive season of touring the world, the Harlem Globetrotters have played in 120 countries on six continents, entertaining over 128 million fans and crossing barriers between cultures, societies, and people from all walks of life. The Globetrotters are one of only six teams to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
