The tour around Riverhead schools today is leading up to its third annual Harlem Wizards Scholarship Fundraiser on November 12. Both past years have been sold out at Riverhead High School, where a team of school teachers and faculty take on the Harlem Wizards professional players.

Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Harlem Wizards website, Duffy’s Deli in Jamesport, Riverhead Saf-T-Swim and through each school building’s PTO. Courtside Plus tickets, which include a pre-game meet-and-greet, are available exclusively at the Wizards website.
