TORONTO, ON: Join CFL legend Michael “Pinball” Clemons, and some of Canada’s best men’s basketball players in support of two worthy charities at the fifth annual All-Star Charity Shootout (ASCS) next Saturday, July 17 at York University. The event will kick off at 3:30 p.m. with some of the country’s most talented hoopsters from college and university, in addition to those playing professional basketball in Europe, as they battle in the Clash of the Charities.

This year’s event will feature teams representing two worthy charities: War Child Canada and the Michael Pinball Clemons Foundation. The winning team’s charity will receive 60 per cent of the proceeds with the remaining 40 per cent directed to the other charity. To celebrate the ASCS’s fifth year, guests will also be able to enjoy a free barbecue and live entertainment while Flow 93.5’s DJ P-Plus will be spinning tunes during the game.
