More on Ballin For Peace
Ryan Hicks Productions, ReGaro,
Inc., Kenn Hicks, LCSW and KIASHA
Entertainment LLC, request your
partnership and participation in the
Ballin' For Peace “Having a Ball
Without Drugs, Alcohol, and Gang
Violence” basketball program
scheduled for Labor Day Weekend,
Saturday, August 30, 2008, from
9:00AM to 7:00PM in Reseda Park (San
Fernando Valley) Reseda, California.
The centerpiece of our events is a
celebrity basketball game, featuring
current and former NBA players,
street ball
legends, influential members of the
communities, actors, and musicians.
The games are exceptionally
entertaining, which draws the crowds
to the events. However, once they
arrive, people can obtain
information on education, job
 training,
health care services, and crime
prevention/intervention information.
The tour was a great success and
received great reviews from news
stations (ABC and NBC), a national
magazine (SLAM), local newspapers,
politicians, and the LAPD. This
event helped Los Angeles County
change from being one of the most
violent big cities to becoming one
of the safest large cities in the
nation. The mayor stated it in the
LA Times (1-11-2008) that gang
homicides fell nearly 40% in 2007.
The NSW is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization, formed to provide
positive recreational activities for
youth and adults in the community
and NSW has hosted basketball
tournaments, leagues, celebrity
games and other entertaining events
in the community since 1981. Our
theme “Have a Ball without Drugs,
Alcohol and Gang Violence” has been
accepted by various communities
visited.
The Ballin’ for Peace tour has been
successful in many venues. We have
successfully thrown Ballin’ for
Peace events at Val Verde Park,
Baldwin Park, Long Beach Jordan High
School, Courson Park in Palmdale,
Jackie Robinson Park in Little Rock,
Campanella Park in Compton,
Fransworth Park in Altadena, Hubert
Humphrey Park in Pacoima, Venice
Beach, Robinson Park in Pasadena,
Washington High in Los Angeles and
Pasadena City College.
