HAMMOND, Ind. (January 2, 2020) – A high-flying, slam-dunking, rim-rattling basketball show returns to town when the Bishop Noll Athletic Department hosts a fundraiser with the Harlem Wizards.

The evening of fun and fundraising takes place Jan. 9 in the Bishop Noll fieldhouse, 1519 Hoffman St. in Hammond. Doors open at 5:30pm, and the show starts at 6:30. Ticket prices are $10.00 if purchased in advance and $12.50 at the door. Tickets can be purchased online at harlemwizards.thundertix.com.

In addition to the Wizards’ dazzling demonstration of hoops artistry, the night will include a Wiz-Kids warmup, contests, comedy, awesome slam dunks, audience participation, merchandise giveaways, and more. The game will conclude with the Wizards’ signature dance extravaganza.

The Wizards will play a promotional game against teachers from Bishop Noll and local elementary schools from the Diocese of Gary.
