More than celebrity photos

A big event with a community purpose.

For three consecutive years, Brandon “Shaggy” Stokes hosted the Kam Cares Spring Jam celebrity basketball game in Hampton Roads. Each edition used sports and entertainment to bring people together in support of the Kam Cares Foundation.

The role reflected what Shaggy had built across the 757: enough trust to guide a major live event, connect with the crowd and help keep the mission at the center of the night.
