Why Pastors & Police? Why Faith & Law Enforcement?
The Together We Ball headliner game is Pastors & Police (not Pastors vs. Police) to represent unity within the Dallas community. Dallas law enforcement, community and religious leaders play side by side to show that what unites us is greater than what divides us. The event also features a high school exhibition game which showcases talent of high school varsity players from around the metroplex. The beauty of this game is that these students have likely never met or played with or against each other. They come together in “unity” to play a sport that we all love – basketball. The high school game is coached by DPD officers. The Big Game is coached by local high school coaches and coaches from the Dallas Mavs organization.
