About this Event
THE HARDWOOD CLASSIC IS MORE THAN A BASKETBALL EVENT. IT IS A COMMUNITY PLATFORM BUILT TO CONNECT GENERATIONS THROUGH SPORTS, CULTURE AND OPPORTUNITY.
Created by J Smoke, The Hardwood Classic uses the power of basketball and entertainment to create meaningful experiences for Atlanta's youth and families.
The event brings together athletes, entertainers, community leaders, businesses, families and young people under one roof — creating opportunities for mentorship, exposure, education, celebration and connection.
OUR MISSION
INSPIRE. CONNECT. EMPOWER. LEAVE A LEGACY.
WHEN THE COMMUNITY SHOWS UP, THE NEXT GENERATION SEES WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
