The Celebrity Basketball Game is presented by Real Talent Media Group and is a family fun event with a portion of the proceeds going to Nashville based Youth Encouragement Services (Y.E.S.). YES operates three youth centers that offer educational and recreational programs as alternatives for kids ages 6-18 during after school hours, weekends and summer break. The programs offered by YES effectively keep children living in the inner city off the street, giving them a safe place to go where they can engage in social, educational and cultural activities.
