DUDLEY — Shepherd Hill Regional High School played host to a very special event on Wednesday, Jan. 14, as the Harlem Wizards, an entertaining basketball team similar to the Harlem Globetrotters that specialize in helping local communities and entertaining with trick shots and highly entertaining on-court antics, took to the basketball court at Shepherd Hill High School to help support the Charlton PTO in what was called a “slam dunk fundraiser.” The show included a wide variety of entertaining shots and activities for the crowd to get involved in as the Wizards showed the value of teamwork, humor, and community involve- ment and just having fun playing a sport they love so much. The Wizards also drove home an important message as they wanted the community to remember the event and that it was their school officials and the PTO that helped bring that entertainment to them and for everyone present to remember how important volunteers and workers in the community can be.

During the ceremony it was announced that the 2015 Relay was moved the weekend of June 13 in order to prevent conflicts with the Relay in Worcester. The event included several small fundraisers, door prizes, and countless whimsical hats to honor longtime Relayer Bob Chernisky who was well known for wearing a different hat for every lap he walked during the yearly Relay event.
