Mr. Ssunny Shah, owner of the Roanoke Ramada Inn and Howard Johnson Hotels is pleased to announce his company, Shrinath Enterprises, LLC will donate 30 admission tickets for the Harlem Globetrotters 2012 World Tour to The Salvation Army’s Turning Point. The event will take place at The Roanoke Civic Center on March 1, 2012 and women and their children from the shelter will be guests at this exciting annual family basketball showcase.
The world’s most famous basketball team features the first female player in a generation this year, TNT (#18) along with Tiny (#55), the world’s tallest professional basketball player at 7’8” and Jacob Tucker (#17), the YouTube star at just 5’10” who holds the title of the 2011 NCAA Slam Dunk Champion with a 50” vertical.
“My family and I have always enjoyed the fun and basketball skills offered by the Harlem Globetrotters, says Sunny Shah. I felt there were other families who may enjoy this performance as much as we do, but might not have the means to purchase the tickets. The Salvation Army’s Turning Point was a natural choice to give women and their children an enjoyable evening out, witnessing the fun and festive atmosphere brought about by the world’s most famous basketball team.”
The Salvatioin Army Turning Point is committed to providing a safe, supportive, confidential and respectful residential environment through which victims of domestic violence will be equipped with the skills to make health decisions for themselves and their children. Sixty women and children can seek shelter at Turning Point at one time. The average stay, for the women and their families, is approximately 30 to 45 days.
Shrinath Enterprises, LLC, a limited liability partnership owns hotel properties in the Roanoke Region to include the Roanoke Ramada Inn located at 1927 Franklin Road and Howard Johnson’s located at 6520 Thirlane Road.
