In addition to the main event on August 5th, a "Hoopz for Peace" basketball tournament & a Celebrity Softball Game are tentatively scheduled for Sunday August 3, 2008. The following night Noonie Ward will hold a "Poetic Justice" poetry slam & book release party for his long anticipated novel "Gangster with a Heart of Gold."
