June 27, 2017 – The Charlotte Hornets, in partnership with Bank of America, will hold their annual all-staff Day of Service on Thursday, June 29, with events at Spectrum Center and six Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Summer Literacy Sites. This year’s Day of Service will focus on expanding access to summer learning opportunities and narrowing the achievement gap for students who need it most.
The day’s activities will begin with a 9:30 a.m. press conference at Spectrum Center featuring Hornets President & COO Fred Whitfield and Bank of America Charlotte and North Carolina Market President Charles Bowman.
Following the press conference, 180 volunteers from the two organizations will form an assembly line in Spectrum Center’s main lobby to pack knapsacks with summer learning materials supporting students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade.
