EDINBURG, Texas - In celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, in conjunction with the Jr. NBA, will be hosting a Basketball and Mental Health Wellness camp on Thursday, January 16 from 4-6 p.m. CT.
The camp will take place at the Edinburg Wellness Center/Vipers Practice Facility located at 315 E. Palm Drive and will host 50 boys selected by the Edinburg School District between the ages of 10-13.

Members of the Vipers team, including coaching staff, will join in on the conversation by sharing their personal experiences and offering advice.
