SkyHawk, the Atlanta Hawks acro-dunking mascot, will make a live appearance at the Columbus Civic Center this Friday, April 9 as the Columbus Riverdragons host a night of non-stop hoops action with the first annual “Doctors vs. Lawyers Charity Basketball Game” and the Dragons game against Asheville.
A fan favorite at all Hawks games, SkyHawk is now in his eighth season of entertaining NBA basketball fans with his array of 360 jams, alley-oops, front flips and other stunts ending in rim-rattling dunks. SkyHawk and four members of the Hawks Wing Team will perform their “Dunk Spectacular” show at halftime of both games.
"Bringing SkyHawk to a Riverdragons game is exactly what we envisioned when we embarked on this basketball endeavor here in Columbus," stated Team President J. Barry McMullin. "SkyHawk is a major attraction that will only add to a great schedule of events this Friday evening ... come watch him soar and take in a super game."
Tip-off for the “Doctors vs. Lawyers” game is 5 p.m., as teams from the Doctors Association of Columbus and the Lawyers Association of Columbus will battle on the Civic Center floor for “vocational supremacy” in the Chattahoochee Valley. The “Doctors vs. Lawyers” game is sponsored by Peachtree Natural Foods, the Columbus Doctors Association, and the Columbus Lawyers Association. The Dragons will tip-off against the Asheville Altitude at 7 p.m..

Tickets can be purchased by calling the Riverdragons ticket office at (706) 225-1100, by visiting any of the ten Peachtree Natural Foods locations, or at the Columbus Civic Center box office. Those in attendance for the “Doctors vs. Lawyers” game will have a chance to win prizes such as free T-shirts and a trip to Florida. Proceeds from all tickets will benefit “Our House”, a shelter for kids awaiting foster care. Doors open at 4:30 p.m..
Along with the “Doctors vs. Lawyers” game, the Riverdragons will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt inside the Civic Center, starting at 6 p.m., as kids of all ages are invited to participate.
