"10-10-10 ACC at the ACC"
Literacy and Basketball Celebration
PHASE 1 will return to the Air Canada Centre once again, this time to celebrate our All Canada Classic national high school all star game and promote literacy! In 2008 PHASE 1 staged an exhibition series featuring West Hill C.I. and Eastern Commerce that drew a crowd of 4,000 fans. This year PHASE 1 will combine forces with several partners including Eric Walters best selling children's author, Johnnie and Jerome "JYD" Williams, Farley Flex, former Canadian Idol Judge, Canada Basketball, Jordan Brand USA several school boards, to present The 10th Anniversary of "The Rumble in the TDot" National High School All Star Game and the 10th book in Eric Walter's best selling basketball series entitle "Home Team" co- written by Johnnie and Jerome "JYD" Williams to an audience of 10 thousand readers at the Air Canada Center on June 14, 2010. PHASE 1 founder Wayne Dawkins is a life skills teacher with Toronto District School Board who believes "Literacy is for the mind what air is for the ball... without it one can not play the game of life!". The All Canada Classic 10-10-10 literacy and basketball event will feature, a city wide essay competition, and a reading buddies program that will team up our nations top basketball players and a group of young readers and a student versus authors celebrity game. The ACC at the ACC will also be an opportunity to raise money for "Literature for Life" a local charity that uses literacy to provide the tools to help young moms do their best. We invite everyone to join us in what will be the largest literacy event in the country since J.K. Rowlings rolled through the country.
