Charity basketball is back in to Spokane, Washington as the Fourth Annual Northern Quest Casino Spokane All-American’s Charity Classic returns to the McCarthey Athletic Center September 4, 2008. Gracious NBA players and former Zags are donating their time and energy to make this event happen for local Spokane charities. You can make an assist by adopting one of these great players. An adoption will allow you a chance to meet and greet your player. Money raised will defray travel costs of your adopted player and allow more money to go where it is needed: in the hands of Spokane area Charities.

You can Adopt-a-Player for $500. This opportunity is limited to the 18 players attending the game. You are able to make a special player request but if multiple requests are made for the same player, a drawing will take place the week before the event.

You may also combine the Adopt-A-Player program with the Northern Quest Casino Celebrity Poker Tournament and save $50. For $950 you will receive a seat at the Poker event on September 3rd along with the adoption of your favorite player.
