On Monday, July 2, the Sacramento Kings Foundation and Kings and Queens Rise League (The League) will host the California Classic Youth Forum. Following the successful Kings and Queens Rise: A Youth Voices Forum for Healing in March, over 200 students from eight Sacramento-area neighborhoods participating in The League will join NBA Hall of Famer and broadcaster Isiah Thomas ahead of the California Classic tournament for a writing workshop and panel discussion designed to help participants grow as individuals and improve their life skills.
“Isiah has long championed that sports can be an agent of change and recognizes the opportunity we have to help create positive outcomes for communities,” said Sacramento Kings Owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé.
