He also said he wanted to give back to the city that he grew up in and to make sure young people have the same opportunities he had.
Nelly’s announcement was met with resounding enthusiasm as he explained the details of the High School Alumni Games at Harris Stowe-State University in St Louis, Mo. The tournament will include three qualifier rounds beginning in October and culminating in a grand finale tournament in November.
Participants will compete in 1v1 basketball tournaments, gaming, and STEM challenges in teams of four. The tournament will be open to all St. Louis alumni—even those who are currently attending college or university. Nelly said each team will also have a mentor assigned to them to help guide them to success in the tournament.
The tournament will also have a charitable component as a portion of the proceeds from the tournament will go to charity. Nelly said he wants to use the tournament to help St. Louis teens get access to STEM education.
The High School Alumni Games is a great opportunity for St. Louis alumni to come together and compete and it’s also a great way for Nelly to give back to his hometown. It’s clear that he’s passionate about giving St. Louis youth opportunities to succeed and he’s excited to see how everyone will come together for this tournament.
Nelly said the tournament will be a great way to show what St. Louis alumni can do when they come together. He believes the tournament will not only bring alumni together, but also help St. Louis teens get access to the education and skills they need to succeed.
The High School Alumni Games is a great way for Nelly to give back and it’s a great opportunity for St. Louis alumni to come together for a good cause. We can’t wait to see what the tournament brings and how Nelly’s passion and drive will impact the city of St. Louis.
