Ball Till U Fall: The DJ Project's 5th Annual Hip Hop Hoops Tournament

04.04.09

On April 4, 2009, Horizons Unlimited and The DJ Project hosted a Hip-Hop Hoops Tournament "Ball Till U Fall" for youth ages 14-22. This was an all ages event at the Mission Recreation Center. There were three on three games, a three-point competition, and a MC battle. The event included performances by local artists, numerous raffles throughout the day, local DJs, dancers, and free giveaways.

The purpose behind this event was to educate the community about the vision of The DJ Project and welcome other youth and young adults interested in becoming involved in the programs run through this organization. The DJ Project is instrumental in providing a safe haven for youth so they are off the streets where floods of drugs and violence occur.

We are pleased to recognize the youth who have been actively involved in the planning and execution of the "Ball till you Fall" tournament, from developing a proposal, working with budgets, booking the performances, handling promotions, and contacting and negotiating sponsors. In the process they have learned valuable lessons about time management, accountability, and taking responsibility. The DJ Project model is a creative learning experience for the hip-hop generation.
