POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS ‘SHOOT IT OUT’ FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Members of the Davenport Police and Davenport Firefighters will be shooting hoops for a good cause this Thursday night at 7 p.m. at the North High School Gym.  All proceeds from this competitive game are going to help support ACT-SO, a major youth initiative of the NAACP.  Tickets are just $5 per person.

ACT-SO, the Afro Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics is designed to promote academic and artistic excellence among African American high school students. Categories of these “Olympics of the mind” include science, humanities, performing arts, visual arts and business.  The first national ACT-SO competition was held in 1978.  Local organizers are hoping to get the program active here in the Quad City community.  For more information about ACT-SO, please contact Michael Cole, Davenport Community Schools, 336-5000.
