American Basketball Association (ABA), Shooting Stars Basketball Academy, America's Green Team, professional basketball team Texas FUEL, Deborah Dupre' Associates for EcoPeace International and Josh Tickell, director of the movie, FUEL have collaborated to launch Texas FUEL YOUTH Project benefit on April 28, 2009 for two of our nation's most important groups, inner-city youth at risk and America's Green Team, Texas FUEL. The benefit will support:
- 2,500 inner-city youth so that they will experience during the 3-day project what youth across America say gave them “reason to live,” Josh Tickell's movie, FUEL. They will also participate in a celebrity facilitated Q and A designed to meet youth learning needs.
- America’s Green Team, Texas FUEL so that they will continue their valuable work promoting the movie FUEL's renewable energy and peace messages throughout North America at all their games, and mentoring inner-city youth.
The project begins with a Green Carpet event Tuesday evening of April 28th at San Antonio's new Paalladium VIP Theater upstairs. There, South Texas leaders and celebrities will gather for an exclusive screening of "FUEL" and a celebrity Q and A followed by culinary delights and a silent auction of highly prized sports memorabilia in the luxurious Mezanine Lounge.
