Project LOVE Chicago's MLK Day Classic is Chicago's PREMIER invitation only middle school boys basketball event featuring Chicago's best middle school teams & players.
Our scouts survey Chicago and surrounding areas to identify the top teams & prospects in and around the city and invite them out for an action packed day of basketball & career exploration.
We will host a career panel ahead of the games in collaboration with Sneakers to Scrubs. Starting at 11AM, we will introduce a panel of current medical professionals and students that have professional/collegiate sports backgrounds. We look forward to bringing you their stories on how they transitioned from sneakers to scrubs!
