TORONTO, June 12 /CNW/
Toronto Raptor
Vince Carter announced Thursday
that the Vince Carter Charity All-Star Game presented by Air Canada, which
has
dazzled a sold out Air Canada Centre each of the past two years, returns
to Toronto on Friday, August 1 of Caribana Weekend. Proceeds from the
game will go to Vince Carter's Embassy of Hope Foundation, benefiting
children at risk in the Greater Toronto Area.
"In the past two years, the city of Toronto has been a great supporter
of the Charity All-Star Game," said Carter. "Together we have
raised more than half a million dollars with our last two charity games
and currently hold the
NBA league attendance record for this type of event. Toronto has the best
fans in the NBA and their support of this event proves it. I hope they'll
be out again for another exciting game. It's a great way to kick off the
Caribana celebrations and to help the community."

They're not planning their big escape because they're already sick of school, although they may indeed be. It's because if they don't, they may miss the boat - or the plane.
"I haven't made any definite plans yet," said NSU student Michael Franke. "But I'll probably go to Padre."
Of course, the "Padre" he's talking about isn't a Mexican priest: It's South Padre Island, the south Texas Gulf coast party haven.
But according to Sonja Keck at Git-A-Way Travel, Franke might think about making plans now to spend spring break on Padre Island.
Spring break for NSU this year is scheduled for March 14-21, and according Keck, those students who are planning to travel during the break and haven't already made plans are a little behind.
"We would be taking reservations if there were any left," said Keck. "There are a few seats left, but only a very few."
While spring break is traditionally an endeavor for college students, many public schools - such as Tahlequah's I-35 District - have a schedule that coincides with nearby universities. Sometimes high school students use the time off as an excuse to get away, or parents of elementary-age students may plan vacations during this time rather than during the summer. >>>MORE>>
One month from now,
Bay County residents will be watching thousands of Spring Breakers converge
on the "world's most beautiful beaches." Beach business leaders
hope their decision on the Tourist Development Council will promote a
better national image through a "safe-drinking" campaign targeted
to young legal drinkers.
Leaders want to project an image of a "safe, responsible community"
by promoting responsible drinking on at least 10 empty billboards throughout
Bay County. The "responsible drinking" campaign will cost the
Tourist Development Council around $10,000.
However, some young people at Bay High School think the campaign is a waste of money. "When they're drunk," says Jessica Carroll, a recent graduate of Bay High referring to partying Spring Breakers, "their minds don't function right. So they may forget it and may end up hurting somebody," she says. Bay High student Lottie Warren agrees. "Some people are just idiots. They don't know how to be responsible. Maybe they try to and they get in a car and it's (the campaign) not going to work," she says. >>>MORE>>
