As top sellers in our CYB raffle, several Canton youth players (and their guests) were treated to a special night at the Boston Celtics game on Friday, January 24th at the TD Garden against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The players got to sit in the special "Dunkin Kid Zone" section, get court side for pre-game, and got on the court for this great picture. For more shots, see the Picture section.

It was fantastic night for over 75 Canton Youth Basketball players (and their parents) at the TD Garden last night as the Boston Celtics played the New Orleans Pelicans. Some Canton players sat court side as the Celtics did warm-ups, others did layups and shot around on the famous parquet court before the game, others were "anthem buddies" and got to stand with Celtics players during the National Anthem, and others got to play in a halftime scrimmage!
To see pictures from the night, visit our Pictures Page. (You can also go out to Celtics.com/fanphotos and enter code 37XD or 37XE.) You can watch the Halftime Video - courtesy of Ken Barrett.
Thanks to our Events Coordinator Barbara Barrett for coordinating such a memorable night for our organization!
