Advisory Council Member Dwight Howard Blocks a Big Shot During the 2004 McDonald's All American Boys Game

We’re meeting up with Dwight Howard, Dominique Wilkins and Alonzo Mourning at the NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix tomorrow for the inaugural McDonald’s All American Advisory Council Summit to discuss the future of the Games.

The Advisory Council is a group of leading sports figures and McDonald’s All American alumni who donate their time to help the rising stars of tomorrow build a lasting legacy of good sportsmanship and charity.

The Advisory Council Summit will consist of a formal sit-down meeting with select members.  The purpose of the Summit is intended to address the key issues of the Games, its current and future players, the charities it supports and the leaders who will shape its future.

The Summit discussion and activities will be based on the Advisory Council’s “Three Point Mission“: 

1.     CHARITY: Lead by example, and show other athletes the importance of becoming a champion in their community by getting involved in important causes such as Ronald McDonald House Charities.

2.     LEGACY: Continue building the prestige of the Games by reconnecting fans with the great names and faces that have made this event so memorable.

3.     TRUST: Build trusting and lasting relationships between the future stars of the NBA and WNBA and veteran leaders who can aid in their development as athletes and role models.

We’ll post a future update on the Advisory Council Summit including video messages and photos of our members in the coming weeks.
