Obama to attend Georgetown-Duke basketball game Saturday
President Barack Obama will attend Saturday's men's basketball game
between the Georgetown University Hoyas and the Duke University Blue
Devils, according to sources involved in the planning of the event.
Saturday's
game at the MCI Center will raise money for educational programs in the war-ravaged
Darfur region of Sudan, and other special guests include NBA star Tracy
McGrady, Alexander Aleinikoff, the United
Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, and John Prendergast,
Co-founder of Enough, the
project to end genocide and crimes against humanity at the Center for
American Progress.
The
White House did not confirm Obama's
attendance, but this wouldn't be the first time he's ventured into the
district to see college hoops. Over Thanksgiving weekend, he attended a
George Washington University game against Oregon State, where his
brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, is the head coach.
