Are You Ready For The Harlem Ambassadors Game?

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week, and if you are based in Charlotte, you survived the snow and ice!

We here at the GALA Foundation are still busy with the Harlem Ambassadors, and gearing up for the game. We want to send a big shout out to Earth Fare in South Park, and the Quail Corners Harris Teeter. These two establishments have agreed to let us sell tickets to the game at their stores, and we are very excited about this opportunity. If you want to come out and buy tickets, we will be at the Quail Corners Harris Teeter (8538 Park Rd Charlotte, NC 28210) on Friday, January 28^th from 4pm-8pm and tentatively we are scheduled to be at Earth Fare in South Park (721 Governor Morrison Street Suite 110, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211) on Saturday February 5^th, and Sunday February 6^th from 2pm-5pm. If you are unable to make it to one of these locations, feel free to contact us, and we will make sure to get those tickets out to you.
