On Thursday, October 28, Providence College men's basketball players Dre Evans (Dallas, Texas) and Kadeem Batts (Powder Springs, Ga.) visited St. Kevin's School in Warwick, R.I. to talk with fifth through eighth grade students as a part of the Providence College All-Stars School Rewards program.

The program is geared toward rewarding academic achievement with tickets to Friar men's basketball games. Participating schools reward students with bookmarks that include a ticket voucher to a men's basketball home game, valid for two tickets, one for the student and one for a parent. Schools will be recognized on the videoboard during the game they attend and some will also be visited by a men's basketball player.
