Prison Fellowship, a Christian nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners and their families, is conducting a free Angel Tree Sports Camp in Mesa.

It will benefit more than 150 children ages 7 to 17 and be held 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 25, at the gym at Central Christian Church Mesa, 933 N. Lindsay Road.

Featured at this free basketball clinic is former University of San Diego player Brandon Johnson who was being recruited by the Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards until he was later indicted and then sentenced to six months in a federal prison in a sports betting scandal.

After his release, Johnson played six years overseas in a professional league and now works with his nonprofit, A.W.A.K.E. Program, which provides a curriculum and youth-mentoring program for juvenile detention centers.

Johnson will be on hand, along with other coaches and players, to instruct the children of incarcerated parents at the Central Christian Church basketball complex for a free basketball clinic. Each camper will also receive a free pair of Nike basketball shoes, a Wilson basketball, and a swag bag full of goodies free of charge.
