Four former NC State basketball players, Chris Corchiani, Dereck Whittenburg, TJ Warren, and Ishua Benjamin will be participating in an All-Star exhibition game that is a part of the Stronger Raleigh Campaign tonight at Broughton High School at 7pm.  Some of the other players in the game will be David West, Garrius Adams, Julian Gamble, Darius Johnson-Odom, PJ Tucker, and James Mays.  Check out the rest of the players participating in the game here.

You can purchase tickets here, or simply purchase them at the door.

This All-Star exhibition game is one of three other events over the next three months that Stronger Raleigh is doing.  Here is their goal:

Building a Stronger Raleigh Together is a movement spanning five months and three events with a focus on breaking the cycle of poverty and a fundraising goal of $250,000. The funds will allow Passage Home, the JD Lewis Center and its nonprofit arm, The B.A.G.S Foundation to increase their combined impact by 775 homeless and low-income families and individuals to a total of 3,125. A portion of the proceeds will go towards expanding the JD Lewis Center’s facility, which will have the capacity to serve 1,000 families in Southeast Raleigh. (Website)

If you live in the Raleigh area, check this event out tonight or one of the others, and be a part of helping eradicate poverty in this great city.
