When the Sacramento Kings host the New Orleans Pelicans at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday, March 7, the team, its foundation and dedicated fans will celebrate the Sacramento Region with their annual Equality Night game. The team has invited several local LGBTQ advocates, community members and partners to the team’s fifth Equality Night.
"Our mission to serve as an agent of change in our community continues as we open our doors with a warm welcome to Sacramento’s LGBTQ leaders and changemakers," said Sacramento Kings Chief Operating Officer Matina Kolokotronis. "We’re honored to work with the diverse groups that represent the region throughout the season."
Entertainment during game breaks throughout the evening and halftime will shine a light on LGBTQ leaders and important moments in history. Capital Cheer Elite Storm – members of Pride Cheerleading Association – will take the court at halftime for a special performance.
Though the Kings Foundation, the LGBTQ Community Center will serve as the 50/50 beneficiary with an information kiosk at Section 111. The Kings Foundation will also present the Capitol LGBTQ Association and their leadership with the team’s Equality Award honoring their hard work, serving the capitol community and impacting policy that effects the entire state.
