Harlem Wizards to Headline Education Foundation Fundraiser

The Kearney School District Education Foundation (KSDEF) is launching a new community event this spring with the arrival of the Harlem Wizards basketball team at Kearney High School on Saturday, April 11, 2026.

The Harlem Wizards, celebrated nationwide for their dynamic mix of basketball prowess, comedy routines, and crowd engagement, are set to deliver a family-friendly spectacle filled with high-flying tricks and plenty of laughter. The night will bring together students, school staff, and local residents in a show of Bulldog pride.

This event marks KSDEF’s first collaboration with the Harlem Wizards and represents a fresh direction in the Foundation’s fundraising initiatives. All proceeds from the game will go toward supporting innovative classroom grants, student enrichment programs, and scholarships designed to benefit Kearney students.

Organizers hope that the Wizards game will become an annual tradition, strengthening community bonds while providing direct support to teachers and students throughout the district.

The community is invited to join the festivities at Kearney High School on Saturday, April 11, as the Wizards bring their unique brand of entertainment to town and help raise funds for educational opportunities in Kearney.
