Posted by Dozens of New Yorkers got a major surprise when Dave East, Cam’ron and Bobby Shmurda all pulled up to Avianne FIT’s “Stop The Violence” basketball tournament on Sunday (May 22).
The basketball tournament occurred in the Big Apple’s Robert Fulton community in Midtown, where dozens of kids enjoyed a recreational basketball game, face painting, free burgers and drinks catered by Burgerology Midtown. The event was created to give back to the Midtown community and get local kids involved in sports and other recreational activities, as well as give them a chance to interact with public figures within their community.
