The Los Angeles Lakers and East West Bank concluded the 2018 “Season of Giving” over the weekend by hosting their annual Holiday Party for Kids. This year the team welcomed Junior Coaches from Playworks to the UCLA Health Training Center for a day of activities and holiday experience with players.
The young students from at-risk areas in Los Angeles serve as mentors to fellow students and encourage them to remain focused and persistent in the classroom. The Lakers set up a large Connect 4 station and had tables with holiday crafts and various games available.
The children also performed Christmas carols, which were judged by Lakers players.
