Special Events

Prince Complex serves a myriad of functions for the community including serving as a gathering place for special events and programs including Cocaine anonymous, HIV/AIDS awareness’ meetings, etc. In addition to some of these regular community gatherings, we also host several important annual events. These events are very important to the community as evidenced by the large turnout each year of more than 3,000 residents:

Boxing Tournament – The community is invited to watch boxing matches between some of the area’s premier amateur boxers. The event is always well attended by enthusiastic spectators from the surrounding community to cheer on their community favorites.

Basketball Tournament – Each Labor Day the community is invited to participate in our annual tournament. They form teams and compete in a fun atmosphere for trophies, awards, and prizes.

Thanksgiving Turkey Give-A-Way – Each year Prince Complex gives away between 300 to 400 turkeys to the community for the Thanksgiving holiday. The turkeys are given to persons over the age of 55. 2006 photos here! »
