The Power of T.E.E.N.S 3rd Annual "Hoops For Awareness" WSPD vs. WSFD Highlights

The Power of T.E.E.N.S (Teaching Emotional Empowerment Never Stops) was created with a belief that the community as a whole needs to work together to end all human suffering caused by HIV and AIDS.  It is not the individual that will make the difference, a collaborative effort must be made to make a difference.

TPOTS was founded in 2007 and is small, non-profit organization in Winston-Salem.  Rozita Nelson is a native of Winston-Salem and says she "came home to make a positive impact in the people and community that I love so much!"

Laila Nur of Greensboro 

Saturday, December 1 2012 was the 3rd Annual "Hoops For Awareness" World AIDS Day Event.  The event was held at Carl Russell Rec Center on Carver School Road in Winston-Salem.  The main attraction is a friendly game of basketball between the Winston-Salem Police Department and Winston-Salem Fire Department.  Entertainment included Carly Williams, who sang Lift Every Voice And Sing (the black national anthem) and the National Anthem.  Self-taught guitarist and vocalist Laila Nur provided half-time entertainment, as well as Kayla Hocker, a graduate of Salem College who   majored in art/dance.

Piedmont Triad Living arrived to the game at halftime.  The score was 27-9 with WSFD ahead.  Despite a valiant effort on the part of the Police Department, the Fire Department held their ground and the final score was 62-38 WSFD.

Please also see TPOTS album of the event here.

They are truly amazing there, it's like a big family. Seraphina LOVES it there and everyone loves her, too! Her improvements since starting there a year ago have been HUGE. Having all of my family and friends help me fund-raise and donate to this school is my way to say "THANK YOU!" to everyone at The Children's Center. Oh, and Scentsy is great for gifts!! This is a great way to get some of you Christmas shopping finished early! :)" -- Marci of Winston-Salem
