June 20, 2019 – The Charlotte Hornets, in partnership with Bank of America, will hold their annual all-staff Day of Service on Wednesday, June 26. This year’s Day of Service will focus on local social economic mobility efforts. A 2014 study found that Charlotte ranks 50th out of 50 among America’s largest cities in upward mobility, meaning a child born into poverty in Charlotte has a greater chance of remaining impoverished than any other major city in the United States
The day’s activities will begin with an 8:30 a.m. press conference at Spectrum Center featuring Hornets President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield and Bank of America Charlotte Market President Charles Bowman.
