Stuck in VT 170: Slam for Sudan

3/25/10: High school varsity basketball players from all over the state of VT competed Thursday in the 2nd Annual Slam for Sudan.

About $2000 was raised for the local non-profit Global Reach Partnerships which helps Sudanese refugees with a variety of life skills.

Slam for Sudan began as a class project at Champlain College and two years later is bringing together the local Sudanese community with slam dunking VT All-Stars.

Music: "Slam for Sudan," Jarred "All Star" Haynes

Location: Memorial Auditorium, Burlington VT
