Ambassadors to Face Cranford PBA in Basketball Game Friday Night

One of the most exciting basketball games of the season is coming to Cranford this Friday night, April 13th, when the Shining Stars Ambassadors special needs basketball team takes on the Cranford PBA in a charity fundraiser.

The fun and excitement will begin at 7:00 pm at the Cranford High School lower gym. Suggested admission fee is $5. Admission is free for all special needs individuals.

The Ambassadors are part of Shining Stars Network, a registered 501(c)3 non profit which creates events to shine the light on the special needs community.

Shining Stars is well-known for their annual "Evening of Shining Stars" talent show. Now in its 7th year, the 2018 show -- which will take place on Friday, May 4th -- will feature "Music Through the Decades" with songs from the 1920's through today. Rehearsals are in full swing and the cast is as excited as ever to perform for the first time at the beautiful and historic Union County Performing Arts Center in Rahway.

To buy your tickets, go to UCPAC.org/events, find the Shining Stars logo and select your seats. To advertise in the show program, email shiningstarsnetwork@gmail.com.

And you can get a sneak peak of the show when the "stars" perform at halftime of Friday's Ambassadors game. For more information on Shining Stars Network, go to www.shiningstarsnetwork.org.
