The PROMISE group held its annual basketball camp to stop the violence on the North Side. The PROMISE group is made up of concerned residents of the North Side in an effort to stop the street violence which is taking so many young Black males.
The basketball camp was open to boys and girls to give them something positive to do during the summer months keeping them off the streets.
