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
