Programming example

In honor of the upcoming Juneteenth holiday, our MSG Black ERG teamed up with the Garden of Dreams Foundation and SCAN-Harbor to host a Juneteenth Community Event for over 150 young people in the Bronx. The event was a fun-filled day that included clinics with the Knicks and Rangers, dance classes with the Rockettes and Knicks City Dancers, a #Juneteenth read-aloud by celebrity guest Amirah Vann, and a culinary station where the youth could refuel with a healthy fruit and yogurt parfait of their own creation. While the day was full of food, fun, and plenty of smiles, the event also helped bring awareness and further education to the youth about Juneteenth.
