LOS ANGELES, CA, January 13, 2017 – The Los Angeles Lakers will demonstrate their support of Make-A- Wish Greater Los Angeles on Friday, January 20th with a special “Wish Night” to benefit the chapter, which grants wishes to local children battling life-threatening medical conditions.
A highlight of the game will be the team’s “Dunk for Dollars,” with each dunk by a Lakers player resulting in a $1,000 donation to Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles from the Lakers Youth Foundation.
Continuing their long-standing commitment to granting wishes, the Lakers will also grant the wish of Alfonso, 17, from Central California, who is currently battling Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
