LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are staging a four-game "Homecoming Tour".

The slate of games will begin on December 1st in Akron, followed by a December 4th game in New Orleans, a December 7th game in Chicago and a December 10th game in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Proceeds from the tour will go to food drives, educational outreach programs and clinics.

"It'll be very neat," Wade told The Associated Press. "First of all, this is something we talked about doing a long time ago as players. To have an opportunity to go to these different cities that we're from, to bring basketball to them at a high level and also have a charitable component in each city and to be with the guys, it'll be cool. It's something we're looking forward to."

Chris Bosh is also expected to play in all four games.
