L.A. Lakers and VOALA Team Up!

The Lakers Organization hosted a Team Up event on Tuesday, November 29, at the Volunteers of America Head Start early education program in Hawthorne. It was a day of fun and activities with the Laker Girls including games, sack races, bubble blowing, face painting and lunch donated by Mike’s Jersey Subs.

The Lakers have been active during the NBA lockout with their Team Up initiative. They partnered with VOALA on November 1, for their first event which was scheduled on what should have been their first home game of the season. The whole coaching staff came to VOALA Transition House downtown along with the Laker Girls to distribute care packages and enjoy music and lunch with the residents of the facility.

“We’ve always received such great support from the Los Angeles community,” said a Lakers rep in a press release about the program. “With the “Team Up” initiative we have the opportunity to give something back to the community by helping out various organizations that service many of our loyal fans.”
