(Moline, IL 12/10/13) Known worldwide as the "Ambassadors of Goodwill"®, the iconic Harlem Globetrotters are debuting a new community outreach program, "The ABCs of Bullying Prevention," in an effort to impact schools and communities around the world, at Edward White Elementary school in Eldridge this Wednesday, December 11 @ 2:20 pm.
The Globetrotters designed the program in coordination with the National Campaign to Stop Violence (NCSV). The program focuses on Action, Bravery, and Compassion, comprising the ABCs.
The program targets 6-14 year-old students and involves Globetrotter players discussing the three key words in the ABCs and tools that kids can use on a daily basis to reduce bullying. The Globetrotters equate what it means to be part of a team to how kids can offer support to one another to help stop bullying.
The important message of bullying and violence prevention is conveyed with student participation - and the team's signature ball handling skills and humor - for a well-balanced program that informs and entertains.
