Basketball fans will be looking “way up” when the Sarnia Police Association holds a fundraiser for Great Lakes Secondary School.

Jordan “Mission Impossible” Kilganon will guest star at the March 3 event, which is a showdown between the school’s Wolf Pack basketball team and a squad from Sarnia Police.

Kilganon is a gravity-defying dunk artist who wowed the NBA’s best players with a spectacular slam during the 2016 NBA all-star game.

Last February, the Sudbury native also attended a United Way fundraiser at St. Clair Secondary in which he leaped over both a Sarnia Police officer and motivational speaker Dan Edwards.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will support the Wolf Pack Basketball Clubs, a program for students from Grades 4 to 12.

Doors open 6 p.m. at Great Lakes, 275 Wellington St. Game time is at 6:20 p.m. with the Kilganon show at 7:10 p.m.

Tickets, $5, are available at the door and online at http://sarniapoliceassociation.com/basketball-at-great-lakes/
