It’s PrimeTime!
PrimeTime585 works with young adults to unite our community in the fight against racism and poverty.
We engage young adults through a shared love of sports.
Beyond the action and sports commentary, we send the important message: When it comes to fighting racism and poverty we are all on the same team.
We provide opportunities to act.
Bridging racial, economic, and geographic barriers, we bring together athletes, fans, and law enforcement professionals to play, learn, and work together.
We help when help is needed the most.
We work with young adults to address mental health issues and connect them to appropriate services.
The teenage years are the Prime Time to promote the importance of compassion, tolerance and cultural sensitivity.
