PRESS RELEASE
Alley Oop Hoops is excited to announce our partnership with the Raleigh Firebirds professional basketball team!
The program will support the Raleigh Firebirds players, interns, and administrators in entrepreneurship and career readiness, supporting the young men and women in finding success beyond the basketball court, with a focus on leveraging the power of our collective networks to provide relevant access and opportunity in each participants’ line of work and interest.
As part of the partnership, each member of the Raleigh Firebirds organization will have the opportunity to connect with professionals in their field of interest, through one-on-one and small group sessions, held virtually during the pandemic and eventually in-person as the year progresses.
Said Wade Harris, Founder of the Raleigh Firebirds – “The Raleigh Firebirds are thrilled to continue building with Alley Oop Hoops. In a short time, we have partnered to impact several families in the Triangle, and we are just scratching the surface of what our two organizations will accomplish together. With the resource network present in the Triangle, a major goal of the Raleigh Firebirds organization is to support our players and team members in making critical decisions in their early adulthood, and in doing so, creating future mentors and community advocates through the process.”
