Easterseals Wisconsin will host its sixth annual Celebrity Basketball Experience at 3 p.m. on April 12 at Madison College’s H. Douglas Redsten Gymnasium. This free, family-friendly event will bring together former University of Wisconsin athletes for an exhibition game to support individuals with disabilities. In the past, players have included Mike Wilkinson, Travis Beckum, and Tyler Donovan.
The event also will include a pregame basketball skills clinic for children in grades three through eight of all abilities from 1-2:30 p.m. Participants will practice basketball skills in small groups. Space is limited to the first 100 registrants, and advance registration with a completed waiver is required.
In addition to the game, attendees can enjoy activities, games, prizes, and photo opportunities with Bucky Badger. The event will also feature a halftime mascot party with Bucky, Bernie Brewer, the Racing Sausages, Maynard G. Mallard and others.
The event has raised nearly $100,000 since its inception in 2018. For more information or to register, click here.
