We’ve organized a full day of engaging activities, starting with a Community Basketball Tournament that brings together youth, artists, and community leaders in friendly competition. Following the tournament, we’ll host a Youth Empowerment Fair, providing resources and support to help young individuals thrive.
Throughout the day, attendees can look forward to hearing from special guests and speakers who will inspire and motivate them to reach their full potential. And to cap off the festivities, we’ll enjoy watching the Detroit Pistons games from the comfort of the Gondola Suites and Northend Club, creating lasting memories in a premier sports venue.
I am truly excited about the opportunity to bring together youth from diverse backgrounds and provide them with a day filled with fun, empowerment, and inspiration. This event represents the essence of Being That Girl — empowering the next generation to dream big and achieve their goals.
Schools, Nonprofits, Youth Groups, Homeschool students are all encouraged to attend.
