Through a partnership led by the Build.Black. Coalition, with support from the Black Child Legacy Campaign and the Sacramento Kings, a new youth summer basketball league will launch on June 2 in Sacramento. The Kings and Queens Rise Co-Ed Basketball League seeks to interrupt violence by providing an opportunity for young people to engage in inter-community sports. Building on the highly-successful Kings and Queens Rise: A Youth Voices Forum for Healing, this league will provide a caring and positive environment for Sacramento youth through community building, sportsmanship, and resources for health and safety.
The Kings and Queens Rise Co-Ed League (The League) is an element of the Sacramento Kings multi-year commitment with the Build.
