The ALS Association is proud to announce they have partnered with the Swish Pro-Am League, a San Diego-based basketball league consisting of professional and amateur basketball players, for an ALS Awareness Day that will take place on Sunday, July 21 at Lincoln High School in San Diego. With an appearance by retired San Diego State University Men’s Basketball Coach Steve Fisher, the ALS Association will be featured throughout the games that are set to begin at 1:30 p.m. that day. Admission to this celebration for the ALS Association is free, and the public is encouraged to attend. The Swish Pro-Am League is a 10-team, six-week summer basketball league featuring high-caliber professional and college-caliber players from top Southern California colleges, universities and high schools—including players from San Diego State University, University of California San Diego, University of San Diego and Point Loma. ALS Awareness Day for the Swish Pro-Am League will consist of four games, with Fisher arriving at 2 p.m. to watch the featured game that will begin at 2:45 p.m. Some notable players participating throughout the day include Billy White, Matt Bradley, Miles Byrd, Jared Coleman Jones, Pharaoh Compton and possibly Nathan Mensah, amongst others. Fisher’s son, Mark, was diagnosed with ALS in 2011 and currently serves in a basketball coaching roll at San Diego State University. “Our family is honored to support the ALS Association and we’re grateful to the Swish League for their support,” said Fisher. “Exposure about the services provided to our son, Mark, and many other families will help sustain hope and accelerate the research and development of treatments and ultimately a cure for ALS. Thanks to everyone for helping create a world without ALS.” Fisher plans on bringing placards that were used for the ALS Association men’s basketball game at San Diego State University earlier this year. Attendees can write on the placard within the framework of “I Fight ALS on behalf of …” to personalize their recognition and support. Swish games are also a showcase for agents, scouts and coaches to observe players under high-level game conditions and offer a fun afternoon of entertainment. The public is encouraged to attend this free event to enjoy a day of competitive basketball and help support the ALS Association. ALS Association on Facebook

VOICES ON THE INSIDE Workshop with Poetic Justice FREE + ALL AGES Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Poetic Justice is a local nonprofit that provides poetry and art as tools for addressing the root causes of trauma for people in women’s jails and prisons. Please join us for a special workshop at Verbatim Books on Monday, July 22nd, at 6:30 p.m. The Voices on the Inside workshop takes the contents of the current multimodal exhibit at the San Diego Central Public Library to a deeper level with a more hands-on approach to poetry, portraiture, and visual literacy. Attendees will engage in Visual Thinking Strategies protocol, direct and/or create their own portrait, and engage each other in conversations connected to the visual nature of our current society, and the overwhelming power of social media and other outlets, for advocacy efforts in a visual context around some pressing systemic and social justice issues. Participants will engage with artifacts from the larger exhibit with special attention to the artistic choices made by the women featured in the exhibit, followed by a larger conversation on the power of visual and multimodal artifacts as tools for healing and advocacy. Poetic Justice merch and poetry anthologies will be available with a donation to the organization. Additionally, please join Poetic Justice at the SD Central Library now through July 31st for Voices on the Inside, an interactive multimodal exhibition of self-portrait poetry and photography created by incarcerated members of Poetic Justice in collaboration with Lisa Loftus Photography.
