Follow on Google News | Mike Glenn Announces 31st Camp for Deaf AthletesMike Glenn's All-Star Basketball Camp for the Hearing-Impaired will be Celebrating their 31st Anniversary, June 20 thru June 25, 2010.
By: LaTanya O'Kelly The week-long camp will be held in Decatur, Georgia and culminate on Friday night, June 25, with an admission free all-star game at the Decatur Recreation Center in downtown Decatur. Male and female participants will sharpen their skills, raise their level of self esteem, and share diverse cultures from various regions of the country. Deaf and hearing athletes will come together through the unifying influences of sports, competition, and compassion. We would be remiss if we did not take time to thank the sponsors, supporters, coaches, and media members who made our 30 year celebration one of the most memorable occasions in our camp history and in the lives of our participants. The young athletes were enthralled by whale-sharks and other underwater life at the Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium. The visit to Six Flags over Georgia also rated very highly. Dinner with Mildred Nelson (my first hero), Lois Smiley, Larry Brown, Howard Sidwell, and other deaf adults who played for my dad in the early years was interesting and inspirational to the participants. They saw themselves as a connection to efforts that were made for their elevation years before they were born. CNN, the Associated Press and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution all gave expert coverage locally and nationally. Newspapers across the country, and a few outside the country, carried our story and celebrated our longevity and commitment. In a time when many camps closed or had fewer participants, we expanded and had more activities. With appreciation and gratitude in my heart, I thank you and ask that you please continue your support! ~ Mike Glenn ~ If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Mike Glenn, please call LaTanya O'Kelly at 678-887-0496 or email LaTanya at latanya@theokellyfactor.com # # # About The OKelly Factor: Freelance Publicist providing superior service to our clients through variety of media, social networking and unique marketing campaigns.
