Prison Fellowship®, the nation's largest Christian nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners, and their families, is conducting a free Angel Tree Sports Camp® that will benefit more than 170 kids, ages 7 to 17, at the Mi3 Center in Houston on Saturday, October 15, 2022.

Featured at this free basketball clinic is former University of San Diego standout Brandon Johnson who was being recruited for the Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards until he was later indicted and then sentenced to six months in a federal prison in a sports betting scandal.

After his release, Brandon played six years overseas in a professional league and now works with his nonprofit, AWAKE Program, which provides a curriculum and youth mentoring program for Houston’s Juvenile Detention Centers. Brandon will be on hand, along with other coaches and players, to instruct the children of incarcerated parents at the Mi3 Center for a day-long basketball clinic—free of charge.

Each Angel Tree Sports Camp participant will receive a free swag bag which includes fitted new tennis shoes, a Wilson basketball, and a Bible.
