Angela Yee and Allan Houston will lead a free event called "Community Thru Hoops" in Times Square.

Three K3ys Inc. and Pathways to Abundance have joined forces to bring the excitement of basketball, the guidance of mentorship, and the joy of entertainment to the bustling streets of New York City. Their goal is to empower young people and families through a free community event that will leave a lasting impact on all who attend.

The event, called "Community Thru Hoops," is set to take place on Monday, August 17th, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the iconic Times Square.

It will kick off with a live broadcast of Way Up with Angela Yee on Power 105.1, followed by a day filled with youth programming, basketball activities, and family-friendly entertainment. But that's not all. The event will also feature a special appearance by veteran broadcaster and entrepreneur Angela Yee, who will be hosting a live radio broadcast.

And in partnership with FISLL, New York Knicks legend Allan Houston will be leading a free youth basketball clinic. This clinic aims to provide top-notch basketball instruction while also emphasizing the importance of leadership and mentorship for young athletes. This is just one example of how the event aims to bring together various industries and community partners to create meaningful opportunities for youth engagement.

According to Tameek Floyd, the CEO of Three K3ys Inc., "Community Thru Hoops represents what is possible when sports, media, business, and community unite around a common purpose." This sentiment perfectly captures the vision behind the event, which seeks to bridge the gap between sports, media, and community in a way that benefits everyone involved. But the fun doesn't stop there. Attendees can also look forward to a youth basketball showcase, a dunk contest, live DJs, interactive fan experiences, games, prizes, giveaways, and various community activations.

Local businesses will also be participating throughout the day, adding to the vibrant atmosphere and bringing even more opportunities for engagement. Describing themselves as a sports, entertainment, and community engagement company, Three K3ys Inc. is dedicated to creating opportunities through athletics, education, strategic partnerships, and programming that connects sports, culture, and community.

Their partner for the event, Pathways to Abundance, is a nonprofit organization that works to strengthen communities through education, mentorship, wellness initiatives, and economic opportunities. Together, they hope that this free event will not only inspire the next generation of athletes but also connect families with valuable resources and experiences that extend far beyond the basketball court. In a world where women are often underrepresented in the investment world, Angela Yee, one of the event's key hosts, is making a difference.

Through her partnership with Airbnb, she is opening doors for women investors and creating new opportunities for success. This only adds to the positive impact that "Community Thru Hoops" will have on the community and its future leaders.
