Even a week after holding an informative all-women’s panel discussion for the third year in a row, the words and insight shared with students at Democracy Prep Endurance High School continues to reverberate.

This yearly event brings together thought leaders and influential women from various industries and backgrounds to share their experiences, insights, and perspectives on the progress and challenges facing women today.

When head coach Ned Jackson and the Gompers Panthers Varsity Boys Basketball team steps onto the court at Springfield Gardens High School in Queens in late December at the 2nd Annual Holiday High School Basketball Classic presented by Ballin’ 4 Peace, they won’t just be competing in another tournament. The Panthers will be playing for the chance to make a difference beyond the basketball court.
