DUNK Grassroots and Citi TV. Attendees embraced
a night of thrilling competition, and exquisite red
carpet experience, special guest performances and the
opportunity to win prizes. The event also launched a
physical and mental health campaign directed towards
the development of Ghana and its people labeled
“Ghana4us”. In the longer term “Ghana4us” will bring
Ghanaians from all over the world together to work
towards a developmental project every year. The first
project intended to be worked on is the refurbishment
of community basketball courts and provide young
people in these communities with basketball kits and
equipment to enhance the sport in Ghana.
Today, sport is defined beyond leisure and talent.
Instead, it represents a symbol of economic
development. Ghana is on the rise and this event,
the very first of its kind is propelling us in the right
direction
