Los Angeles Kings Families Helping Families
The Los Angeles Kings have participated in Families Helping Families for
the last three years, where players, coaches and staff adopt 30 families
and invite the families to their ice rink to enjoy a day of skating,
opening gifts and lunch with the players. This year, however, the Los
Angeles Kings have gone beyond expectation to support the Prevention
Center in a holiday fundraising campaign. Not only are 25 families
invited to watch the December 3rd game from luxury suites,
where they will receive holiday gifts and meet the players, but Los
Angeles Kings fans may purchase specialty packages for admission to the
December 3rd game, where proceeds from the event will benefit
the Prevention Center. For more information visit: http://kings.nhl.com

Board of Directors, members of the Business Advisory Board and other

to celebrate the launch of Families Helping Families. An In-N-Out truck
will be on hand to feed 200 volunteers, and Wells Fargo staff will
contribute valuable volunteer hours in addition to adopting almost 40
client families.
