Mack Wilson Sr. Brings the Action to Arizona

Tempe, AZ – Get ready for a slam dunk of fun, community spirit, and meaningful impact as Mack Wilson Sr., linebacker for the Arizona Cardinals, brings his highly anticipated 4th Annual Celebrity Basketball Game to Arizona for the first time ever! Known for hosting this exciting charity event in his hometown of Alabama over the past three years, Mack is now expanding it to connect with fans in the Valley of the Sun. On Saturday, May 10, 2025 , Corona Del Sol High School in Tempe will transform into a hub of excitement, uniting families, sports enthusiasts, and local communities for a day filled with laughter, competition, and heartwarming moments.

A Day Packed with Fun for Everyone

The festivities kick off at 11:00 AM with a FREE Community Day , open to all locals looking to enjoy some family-friendly fun. Whether you’re bouncing around in the inflatable bounce house, getting creative with face painting, or cheering on youth athletes during mini-games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, don’t be surprised if you bump into a few familiar faces—Arizona Cardinals players and other NFL stars might just stroll by to say hello!

For those eager to see future basketball legends shine, high school athletes will take center stage at 12:00 PM for an action-packed pre-game showcase. The young competitors will participate in thrilling contests like the 3-point challenge half-court shot challenge , and a fast-paced relay race . It’s not just about showcasing talent; it’s about celebrating the next generation of athletes right here in our backyard.

The Main Event: Celebrity Hoops Action

At 1:00 PM , the spotlight shifts to the main court for the Celebrity Basketball Game , where Mack Wilson Sr. teams up with fellow NFL athletes and entertainers for a high-energy showdown. Confirmed celebrities include football greats like Marvin Harrison James Conner Tre McBride Christian Gonzalez , and even legendary wide receiver Terrell Owens . These pros aren’t just playing—they’ll also engage in friendly competitions throughout the game, including more 3-point challenges and half-court shots , ensuring nonstop entertainment.

With plenty of laughs, trash talk, and jaw-dropping athleticism, this game promises to be a highlight of the spring season. And let’s not forget the lucky fans who may find themselves cheering alongside their favorite athletes courtside—it’s all part of the unforgettable experience Mack has planned.

More Than Just a Game: Giving Back to the Community

Beyond the fun and games, this event is deeply rooted in giving back. Proceeds from the day will benefit two incredible charities:

  1. Fostering Champions (Arizona): Dedicated to empowering foster youth, Fostering Champions equips young people with the tools they need to live independently and thrive. Through mentorship, leadership programs, and resources, they help eliminate barriers and inspire resilience among foster youth and alumni.
  2. Make a Difference Foundation (Alabama): This foundation focuses on mentoring underserved youth and providing educational opportunities to help them reach their full potential. With plans to expand its efforts to Arizona soon, this partnership highlights Mack’s commitment to supporting communities both near and far.

By attending this event, you’re not only enjoying a day of entertainment—you’re making a real difference in the lives of others. That’s what makes this gathering so special.
