Obama for America
 I love basketball.
Always have, always will. And even though my girls would probably tell you I'm too old to have any game, I still try to get out on the court whenever I can.
So I'm really excited about an event coming up in a couple weeks.
Some of the greatest players out there -- legends and newcomers -- are joining me for what we're calling the Obama Classic. You could be there, too, and I encourage you to bring a basketball fan in your life. Don't be surprised if I challenge you or your guest to play.
Pitch in $X or whatever you can, and you will automatically be entered for the chance to join me, Patrick Ewing, Sheryl Swoopes, Chris Bosh, Alonzo Mourning, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, and many more for dinner -- followed by a casual shootaround.
Believe me, that list of names is just as unbelievable to me as it to you, but there's no reason to be nervous: These players love the game, and they're going to love meeting you, too.
And if you're feeling up to it, I told the campaign I'd like to shoot a few hoops myself, but I don't want anyone to feel bad -- so I'll try to not make too many threes in a row.
If basketball isn't your thing, you should still come. If you win, you get to bring whoever you want, and I bet you can think of at least one person who would love to hang out with a few all-stars. We'll also have plenty of time to catch up off the court, with you and your guest sitting down with me and the rest of the players for dinner.
I know I can't wait. I hope you'll pitch in what you can today and automatically get your name in the hat -- airfare and accommodations included:

Good luck and go Bulls .
