An upstate non-profit organization whose foundation is to “bridge the gap” and positively impact kids’ lives will be dribbling into Sussex County next month.
Cape Henlopen High School is the staging venue April 16 for Duffy’s Hope and its annual Hollywood Invades the Beach basketball fund-raiser, which will feature actor Wesley Jonathan and singer/songwriter/musician Jimmie Allen, a Cape Henlopen graduate who is a past American Idol Top 10 finalist.
It’s more than celebrities, hoops and hoopla.
Bullying and obesity are topic issues that will be addressed during the event that tips off with the basketball game at 6:05 p.m.
“Those are some of things we’ll talk about,” said Duffy’s Hope founder/CEO Allen “Duffy” Samuels. “Bullying is happening all over in the U.S. We’re trying to eliminate some of these things, and be more preventative.”
