BSB vs. 'N Sync Fans B-ball Game for Charity
Thanks to Backstreet.net.
This charity basketball game will be held on Sunday, July 9, 2000, from 12-4 pm at
Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Poughkeepsie is located within Dutchess County,
approximately 1 hour south of Albany, and 1-1/2 hours north of NYC. Tickets are available
at the door for $10.
The game is being played by teen age girls, one team fans of Backstreet Boys, the other
team fans of N Sync. All proceeds are going to the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children. The director of fundraising for the Center is Myra Grauer. She can
be reached at 1-718-222-5888. We have her full support and assistance in this project.
Marist College's facility has a 2500 person capacity. They are officially cosponsoring the
event. A local radio station is planning a live remote from the event. Jive records has sent
promotional materials for a raffle table, 5 N Sync CD's and 5 BSB CD's. Backstreet.net is
sponsoring the Backstreet teams jerseys and donating BSB merchandise for raffles. A full
press release will be issued by Tony Musso to all local and area television and newspaper
media.
As for the event itself, in addition to the game, there will be free fingerprinting for the
children, as well as a face painting booth. There will also be a raffle table where we are
planning to have N Sync and BSB merchandise available. There is a band called Unlimited
coming to perform for the spectators.
Mark this Sunday on your Calendars! You don't want to miss this event.
A Note from the Organizer
This event was born around New Years. I wanted to help out the NCMEC, and John
Walsh, who does America's Most Wanted, is such an inspiration. It's important for teen
agers to be aware of internet safety as well as the joys of volunteering. The one thing
most teens are passionate about are The Backstreet Boys and N Sync. Internet support
has been phenomenal thanks to nsyncstudio.com and backstreet.net! I literally have fans
coming from all over the country just to help out and support this charity, even though
they are aware that neither group is scheduled to attend.
The event is being professionally video taped and a copy of this tape will be sent directly
to our big supporters, as well as BSB, N Sync, and Jive. Official photographs will be taken
as well. There are other things in the works right now, but cannot be confirmed. This
event has grown tremendously in the past month, and I expect it to be well attended by
many people.
My name is Larell McCaffrey and I am the chairperson of this event. I can be reached at

feel free to contact me. Thank you so much for your consideration to help this event. It
means a lot to all involved!
