AAO Community Block Party

At Arkansas Athletes Outreach (AAO) our mission is to "Build Champions for Life through the Transformational Power of Sports. Our audience is made up of youth and families from many ethnicities represented in NorthWest Arkansas. As we observe the tension in our nation around difficult topics, we want to be a part of helping to build positive relationships in our community as well as creating opportunities for people to talk about these topics in a way that builds them up through empathy and a desire for unity through diversity. AAO is partnering with local law enforcement agencies (Washington Co, Fayetteville PD, Springdale PD, Benton Co) and other local non-profit organizations (Potter’s House, Big Brother Big Sister, The Yvonne Richardson Community Center, The Spark Foundation) to host a Community Block Party featuring a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. We want to use the transformational power of sports to help build a bridge between our law enforcement agencies and the families in our community. We are expecting lots of teams of various age groups for the tournament and will also have plenty of games/activities and booths during the day. We are seeking volunteers to help set up, run the clock for games, man booths and bounce houses, serve food, clean up etc. We hope that you are eager and able to aid us in this wonderful event! "GAME ON!"
