The Harlem Wizards, the most interactive, fun, community basketball event in the world, is coming to Salisbury — again!
The world-famous Harlem Wizards will visit James M. Bennett High School on Sunday, Nov. 9th for an afternoon of great basketball, fun, and fundraising.
The Wizards will play a game against the Sunrise Supersonics, a team made up of Wicomico County teachers, principals, and community leaders.
The event is a fundraiser hosted by The Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be used for local student scholarships as well as other local charitable projects and partnerships.
The energy at a Wizards game is electric.
The laughter is infectious.
The dunks are rim-rattling, high-flying, and awe-inspiring.
The hoop artistry, ball-handling, tricks, and teamwork are mesmerizing. What really takes it to another level is the hometown participation — from the kids’ on-court experiences to the teachers, principals, and other community leaders who take on the Wizards as the “hometown heroes.”
Besides cheering for their teachers, the kids are involved all throughout the game — they will all have a chance to get on the court!

The experience at a Wizards game is all about the community and schools coming together for an afternoon of good, pure fun and excitement — and it’s for a great cause.
Founded in 1962, the Wizards have played over 15,000 games throughout the U.S., raising over $25 million for schools and charitable causes.
“We are thrilled to host the Wizards again for our fourth year,” says Dennis Weller, President of the Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club. “Last year’s game was a huge success, and we look forward to more Wizards’ magic!”
Please help us make this event a success and help us reach our fundraising goal.
As Rotarians, we are all volunteers who give our time to raise money for a variety of worthy causes. All net proceeds come back to our community, year after year.
We look forward to seeing you Nov. 9th at the James M. Bennett High School gymnasium.
