Rolling Loud Miami kicks off this weekend with plenty of side projects to accompany the main adventure, just like the youth basketball clinic the organizers slam-dunked Wednesday.
Festival founders Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler, teamed up with the Miami Heat players Udonis Haslem & Haywood Highsmith and 50 kids from the Miami Gardens Life Skills & Summer Thrill camp … as the official tip-off for the Rolling Loud Miami Week.
Udonis, being a Miami native and a 20-year vet of the Heat says the Rolling Loud clinic was especially personal for him, as he sees his former self in so many youth today.
Tariq assisted with both the DJing duty and skills training and we’re told all the kids at the event had a blast.
Rolling Loud Miami Week will be booming with local community initiatives with familiar sponsors designed to inspire and inform the kids … great time-fillers for their current school-free days.
On Thursday, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America will team with DGK Skateboards for a skate park clinic, that’ll provide the 50 youth participants with skateboards and safety equipment to instill the basics.
