For Immediate Release -
December 16, 2018 -
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Attorney Frank Walker of
Frank Walker Law, again demonstrates his
commitment to the Pittsburgh Community in which he serves by agreeing to be the Platinum sponsor of the
2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend Basketball Showcase titled "Stand
Against Violence", which is presented by
Woodland Hills Athletic Department.
According to Attorney Walker, "The sponsorship was an easy decision.
When approached by Woodland Hills Athletic Director, Ron Coursey, I immediately
saw the impact of the event in our region and in the lives of the young
men from other cities. Often, as
Criminal Defense Attorneys, we are called to defend individuals charged with
violent crimes, but rarely are we asked to support programs and events purposed to deliver
a message of non-violence in our own communities. I recognize that a basketball
tournament won’t totally eradicate the problem, but it places community
leaders in front of young men for a weekend to discuss decision making
and to reinforce the non-violent tenants taught by Dr. King.”
The Tournament will take place
January 19 - January 21, 2019 at theWoodland Hills High School, 2550 Greensburg Pike, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15218. The MLK Weekend will feature teams fromPittsburgh, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Erie and
Harrisburg.
According to AD Coursey, the Basketball Showcase is purposed to be in alignment
with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy of nonviolence and
has been intentionally scheduled on his birthday weekend. This will be
a great opportunity for the greater Pittsburgh area to enjoy an exciting
weekend of Basketball with an emphasis on combating violence in our respective
communities. The showcase allows for not only socializing and competitive
sporting fun, but also business networking opportunities and solution-oriented
dialogue about this growing problem.”
For more information about the MLK Showcase, please contact Athletic Director
Ron Coursey at (412) 244-1100 ext.5141.
