As a true leader in the housing industry, our agency has the distinct pleasure of hosting the SERC MLK Basketball Tournament & Cheer Competition in our great state next year. holiday with their youth, families,

coaches, and staff to this highly anticipated weekend of competitive sports, educational opportunities, and cultural experiences. BACKGROUND:
Since 1992 SERC-NAHRO has had the privilege of being associated with an effort to create opportunities for leadership development for youth in the SERC Region. It began with the efforts of a few strong-willed individuals devoted to the belief that providing youth from low-income families with experiences they might not otherwise have access to could have a direct, positive impact on their futures. They started a “Sports Festival” in the State of Alabama. And over these past 30 years, it has grown into the annual “SERC MLK Basketball Tournament and Cheer Competition.”
