L.A. Clippers Foundation Announces #GivingTuesday Charitable Campaign

LOS ANGELES, CA  - The L.A. Clippers Foundation announced today that the team will participate in the #GivingTuesday charitable movement on Tuesday, December 1 for the second consecutive year. The team will join with fans, season ticket-holders and local businesses to give Southern California children the opportunity to attend a Clippers game at STAPLES Center.

#GivingTuesday has become an annual charitable celebration that unites more than 10,000 organizations worldwide under the common purpose of giving back.  Along with a monetary donation, Clippers fans have the opportunity to give back by donating tickets to the L.A. Clippers Foundation, and the Foundation will utilize the tickets by bringing local youth organizations to STAPLES Center for Clippers games. Last year, the Clippers Foundation and Clippers fans donated over 3,000 tickets to local charitable youth organizations.

Anyone interested in participating in the Clippers #GivingTuesday initiative can visit www.Clippers.com/GivingTuesday or call (213) 763-2675 for package and donation information.
