The Harlem Globetrotters plan to make a stop in St. Joseph next year during their 90th Anniversary World Tour.

The team will take over the St. Joseph Civic Arena Thursday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m.

Known worldwide as the Ambassadors of Goodwill™, the Globetrotters also announced that they are giving back even more during their 90th year with The Great Assist program. Stars of the team will leave a mark in communities across North America with acts of goodwill during the tour that is set to play over 330 games in 260 cities.

Fans are encouraged to visit GreatAssist.com to nominate a worthwhile cause or a deserving family in need of a smile, and the Globetrotters will help as many fans as possible throughout the tour. In addition to fan requests, the team is planning to bring their bullying prevention program to over 400 schools and community centers, talk to youth about character education and physical fitness, visit children’s hospitals and lend a hand to those in need.

On the court, the Globetrotters’ 90-year celebration will feature athletes and entertainers. The roster features Big Easy Lofton, Ant Atkinson, Hi-Lite Bruton, Thunder Law, Bull Bullard and Cheese Chisholm– plus female stars TNT Maddox and Sweet J Ekworomadu*. Every game will showcase ball handling wizardry, rim-rattling dunks, trick shots, comedy and fan interaction. After the game, Globetrotter stars will sign autographs and take photos with fans.

Tickets start at $20 and go on sale Tuesday, October 20 at 10 a.m. at harlemglobetrotters.com, ticketmaster.com, the St. Joseph Civic Arena box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.
