The Sharette Dixon Classic is a one-day event featuring the top boys’ high school basketball from across New York and New Jersey.
This annual event is being organized in memory of Sharette Dixon, wife of Minnesota assistant Kimani Young and mother of Kamaal Young (12), Khaliq Young (10) and Salimah Young (8). Proceeds from the event will support a family education fund that has been established for the three children.
