Community
Mike James Day
Mike James Day began as a community event Mike hosted for residents of Amityville, New York. The foundation is bringing that day back for a neighborhood.
Where it started
Amityville was the first version.
Mike hosted Mike James Day in Amityville, New York, a community event for local residents. Showing up for a neighborhood was already part of how he used his platform.
The foundation's Mike James Day is that tradition, widened: basketball, family, wellness, and community in one day. He has also stood with efforts such as Hoodies 4 Healing. The photograph shows him there. Hoodies 4 Healing remains its own organization.
What a day can hold
Basketball. Family. Wellness. Community.
