The Michael Douglas Youth Foundation™ is committed to helping to provide positive and educational activities for communities and organizations around the globe. The organization was founded by legend Michael Douglas, a former Harlem Globetrotter and leader of the Harlem Legends basketball team.

The Globeshotter: Festival Event
The Globeshotter is an excellent attraction at festivals and expos because it allows participants an opportunity to meet and greet former members of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Participants can also win autographed basketballs, sports plaques, t-shirts, hats and other merchandise by trying "2 Shots for $2". We provide our portable basketball goal.

Evening of Sports History:
Featuring a Legendary Harlem Globetrotter
The evening (morning or afternoon is fine too!) consists of a one hour video about the World Famous Harlem Globetrotters, a trivia contest based on the video (the format is similar to the popular television program), a motivational message, and question/answer period. The entire event is hosted by a Harlem Legend!
