The Lower Moreland PTA is sure to bring miles of smiles to hundreds of family faces on Tuesday November 12, 2013. The LMPTA Harlem Wizard Fundraiser Co-chairs, Maureen Ciolko and Kim Manin along with their committee members have put together an easy, and affordable night of fun for the whole family.   

The Harlem Wizards, a professional entertainment basketball team that has delighted audiences around the globe, will be returning for a rematch with the new and improved, very enthusiastic, Lower Moreland All-Star Lions which, consist of teachers and staff from the Lower Moreland School district.  The Wizards are one of the greatest basketball show-team organizations that perform a rare combination of individual athleticism, teamwork & entertainment.    

“Lower Moreland will be ready for a night filled with competitive fast-paced action with plenty of comedy and audience participation”, said Maureen Ciolko. “The committee and I have added to this year’s show festivities beginning at 5:30pm in the Lower Moreland High School Cafeteria.”  “This will be a night of family fun for the entire community that you will not have to drive to Philadelphia, park and pay high prices.”  LMPTA has added entertainment such as performances by the Pine Road jump rope team, singing of the national anthem by students, the LM Lion mascot, and 50-50 raffles with chances to win Harlem Wizards Memorabilia. 

Doors will open at 5:30pm at the Lower Moreland High School for food and activities in the lobby/snack shop area. Families can grab an inexpensive dinner or a snack at the HS Snack Shop and shop for their basketball gear at the Harlem Wizards souvenir table.  After the game, the Wizards will be available for autographs until every child is satisfied.  Fan Souvenirs will be sold or bring your own basketball for an autograph!

Revenue generated by this fundraising event will go directly to the Lower Moreland PTA to benefit the LMTSD.   The Lower Moreland PTA has been a cornerstone in the foundation of quality education in Lower Moreland for over half a century. This family friendly event gives participants and sponsors an opportunity to celebrate the sense of community that bonds us as neighbors, friends and families.  It also provides important funding to enrich school curriculum, such as scholarships, field trips, cultural development projects, technology advancements, music and fine arts enhancements and many additional special projects through out the district.  

Tickets to the November 12, 2013 game are $10 per student and $15 general admission, sold in advance at the LMHS snack shop or through the advance ticket order form at each school.  All seats are general seating. Ages 2 and under are free.  Any tickets sold at the door are at an increased price of $15 per student and $20 general admission. Tickets are expected to sell out. Doors open at 5:30pm game time 6:30pm.
